Book description
Innocent Killers is a book written in 1971 by Jane Goodall and her husband at the time, photographer Hugo van Lawick, describing their time observing three species of carnivores in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater: African wild dogs, golden jackals, and spotted hyenas. They spent two years on these studies, with their infant son in tow, and what emerged is a series of charming, hilarious, and poignant tales about a vast assemblage of animal characters. As Goodall notes in her epilogue, after outlining plans to begin studies on three species of wild cats in the Serengeti (unfortunately, the planned companion volume, The Stealthy Killers, seems never to have been written): By that time... we shall be trying to keep up with the goings on of over a hundred individual animals of seven different species spread out over the vast spaces of Africas Tanzania. And keeping up with the goings on of individuals is what Goodall and Van Lawick do, as superbly in this book as in their work on chimpanzees.The book is divided into four main sections. The first is a fairly lengthy introduction of sorts, written by Goodall, describing their decision to embark on these studies and their life in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. The second, by van Lawick, describes his studies of African wild dogs in the Serengeti, focusing particularly on the power dynamics within the females of one pack as they raise a litter of pups. Van Lawick also wrote the third chapter, which tells the story of Jason the golden jackal raising his family in the Ngorongoro Crater, and contained my favorite anecdote of the book: the pup Rufus, having recently eaten a species of mushroom generally avoided by the omnivorous jackals, begins charging at a full-grown wildebeest, which hurries out of the way, apparently as surprised as Van Lawick himself.The final chapter is by Goodall again, and may be the books highlight: an exploration of the lives and behavior of the hyenas of Ngorongoros Scratching Rocks Clan. The hyenas personalities come alive in Goodalls writing, from Bloody Mary and Lady Astor to Miss Hyena, Vodka, and Quiz. The hyenas social structure, which is based on large matriarchal clans, was fairly foreign to me; I havent seen much coverage of it in nature documentaries and the like. That may be for a good reason вЂ” most large carnivores in nature documentaries are framed as noble hunters, and nobility is an anthropomorphic quality thats hard to ascribe to hyenas. Instead of trying, Goodall takes them as they are, and the result is a fascinating portrait of a clan of bizarre creatures, not quite like anything else, but with a charisma all their own.The book is punctuated by Van Lawicks photographs, and its always rewarding to find a furry face to match with each name, and leaf through the breath-taking shots of a wild dog greeting ceremony, jackal pups playing tug-of-war with an ostrich feather, or hyenas taking down a wildebeest. The photos are black and white, but their content is vivid enough to more than make up for the lack of color.The title of the book, Innocent Killers, alludes to the prevailing view at the time that predators like hyenas and wild dogs, which devour their prey alive, were vicious brutes that should be ruthlessly exterminated. Goodall and Van Lawick freely admit their aversion to watching the brutality of such a kill, but point out that the prey of wild dogs and hyenas die more quickly than that of the big cats, and that they kill only in order to eat and live, and not (as humans do) with knowledge of the suffering they may inflict. In that context, this book has something of an unstated agenda: to make the reader fall in love with these much-maligned animals, and to see a larger picture of them than simply the cleanness of their killing. While carnivores in general are better loved and respected today than they were when this book was written, Innocent Killers still succeeds superlatively at its goal, and is well worth the read.
