Synopsis
Excerpt from Life-Histories of African Game Animals, Vol. 1
At present we know so little regarding the habits and life-history of the various game animals that we find our selves at a loss to account for many of their most obvious peculiarities. For instance, the distribution of almost any game animal offers some features which with our present knowledge are inexplicable. It is well known that every animal, or plant for that matter, has strongly within it the tendency to enlarge its distributional area until it covers the habitable earth. It is equally well known, although not so universally kept in mind, that the distribution of each species marks the limits within which it is able successfully to compete with its environment. It would appear, there fore, a comparatively easy matter to determine the factors which are accountable for the distribution of any species; and yet no task in natural history is more difficult.
