Mammoth Hunt: In Search of the Giant Elephants of Nepal [Idioma Inglés] - Softcover

‘Great stuff’
New Scientist

Tales of adventure and drama in Nepal as John Blashford-Snell and Rula Lenska track down mysterious giant elephants – thought to have close links to the mammoth.

Rumours began to filter out of Nepal ten years ago that there was a giant mammoth raiding the hunting grounds of Nepalese tribesmen.

Who better to investigate than renowned explorer and conservationist John Blashford-Snell? With Rula Lenska and a team of adventurers in tow, Blashford-Snell made a series of expeditions over many years, tracking giant footprints, fodder trails and dung piles until at last they came upon a pair of giant elephants. When he took evidence home, scientists confirmed that they did indeed have links with prehistoric elephants. It’s a characteristic ‘Blashers’-style tale – full of adventure, danger, excitement and humour.
