The diminishing population of African and Asian elephants can be compared to the extinction of other elephant-like species, such as mammoths and mastodonts, which occurred more than ten thousand years ago. This book uses the ecology and behaviour of modern elephants in Zimbabwe to create models or reconstructions of the life and death of extinct mammoths and mastodonts. The author's studies of the places where African elephants die, and the fossil and bone records are also examined very closely.
