Lawrence Anthony (17 September 1950-2 March 2012) was a conservationist with the Thula Game Reserve in Zululand, South Africa. This is the story of how he developed a special relationship with these animals to help them get over their belligerent dealings with humans.I read that the author of this book recently passed away and that the elephants he interacted with for many years instinctively traveled a very long way on foot over many, many miles to come and visit him at the place where he passed away. But this sense was taken to an even more extraordinary and inexplicable level in the case of the author of "The Elephant Whisperer" and owner of the Thula Thula game reserve in South Africa. Lawrence notes that most of us are under the false belief that effective communication is the sole monopoly of humans. The author was remarkable because he would follow his intuition about situations rather than standard advice, often while fearing his actions could bring about his demise.
