This book is an account of the general ecology of the largest land mammals, emphasizing the constraints imposed by a very large body size.

Owen-Smith's account of the ecology of the largest land mammals (elephants, rhinos, hippos and giraffes) emphasises the constraints resulting from their body size. Many important questions are raised. For example, why have these once abundant and widely distributed animals all but gone extinct?
