Book Synopsis The Dangerous Game by : Walt Prothero
Download or read book The Dangerous Game written by Walt Prothero and published by . This book was released on 2005-06 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dangerous Game tells us of modern day, true-to-life actual encounters with dangerous animals in Africa, North America, and Asia. As he says, when a tracker in Mozambique gets tossed into a thorn tree by an enraged buffalo, this is sensational however you tell it. The simple truth is often more sensational than anything we can construct with words. Perhaps we'll find that the most dangerous beast isn't an African lion, Cape buffalo, elephant, or grizzly, but rather a thoughtless moment or just plain bad luck.
