There they lived for seven years, in an unexplored area with no roads, no people, and no source of water for thousands of square miles.? In this vast wilderness the Owenses began their zoology research, working alongside animals that had never before been exposed to humans including lions, brown hyenas, jackals, and giraffes.

Travelers and animal lovers alike will be instantly captivated by their tale. |
