Well you know, it isn’t a very good profession for making money. Not at all, it isn’t. Most of the good naturalists don’t make any money whatever. All they do is spend money, buying butterfly-nets and cases for birds’ eggs and things. It is only now, after I have been a naturalist for many years, that I am beginning to make a little money from the books I write.

For decades, many naturalists have called for re-classification of the African forest elephant. It is smaller than its free-ranging savannah counterpart. Its tusks are longer, thinner, and straighter, with a suggestion of pink to them. Its skull shape is also different. But appearance alone was insufficient to prove they were a different species, as University of Washington conservation biologist Samuel Wasser points out.
