Kama Einhorn

An Anteater's Adventure is also the author's adventure. Although Kama Einhorn thoroughly planned before going to Belize to study anteaters, a hurricane wrecked all of those plans. Instead she stayed to help the ravaged Tamandua Refuge. While helping to clean up the debris and save the animals from high water Einhorn met Ella, the anteater rehabilitator and Abi, a rescued anteater also called tamandua. Even though Ella was restoring her property, saving wildlife, and rehabilitating Abi, she was a constant teacher for Einhorn. Einhorn wrote this adventure as if Abi was telling it. This book is a goldmine of information about anteaters, their rehab, jungle canopy habitat, and wonderful people committed to conservation! Well done!… (meer)
