Baboons?

Have you ever dreamed of visiting the grasslands of Africa, watching zebras, lions, and wildebeest running free? Did you ever want to photograph a rhino up close and personal, or spot elephants showering in the river?

Biologist Christina Allen had big dreams of Africa-and found a way to make those dreams a reality She joined a team of scientists biking along East Africa's Great Rift Valley looking for wildlife. Christina also visited several tribes, witnessing their cultures firsthand!

Always ready to accept challenges and laugh at her mistakes, Christina candidly shares the details of her adventure. Humorous and touching, Hippos in the Night is full of hope for the wildlife-and the people-of Africa.

作者简介 Christina Allen grew up in Anchorage, Alaska, where her love for animals and the wilderness was nurtured. She studied biology, geology, and environmental science at Occidental College and spent eight months in Brazil learning about the ecology of the Amazon.
