Download Dragon Songs: Love and Adventure Among Crocodiles, Alligators, and Other Dinosaur Relations AudioBook Free
A created naturalist and a fearless traveler, Vladimir Dinets had written travel courses, conducted field research, and resided several lives before he was accepted in to the PhD program in zoology at the College or university of Miami. He thought crocodiles were a dead-end research subject matter - survivors from age the dinosaurs however, not much else - until he witnessed groups of up to seventy alligators performing mating choruses that included infrasound vibrations - a form of communication extremely unusual in nature - and a "dance" undiscovered in the methodical literature but that resembled a world from Jurassic Playground. To establish his thesis about the language of crocodiles, he put in another six years touring round the world on shoestring budgets and in extreme circumstances, studying almost every living species. At the same time, as a man desiring companionship in life, he wanted love. With journeys on five continents, Dragon Tunes is his accounts of this search. It includes an escape from a boiling lava lake in the Afar Desert, being chased up a tree by the tiger in India, hitching a ride with a cocaine smuggler in Bolivia, and diving with big Greenland sharks - all in the name of studying crocodiles, among which he routinely paddled in his inflatable kayak. Obviously, not everything gone corresponding to plan. But, in the end, his ground-breaking research helped change the field. And during his journeys, he found and courted his future partner.
