How to Talk to Animals

At the southern tip of Africa, a bridge is being built between the human world and the wild. Anna Breytenbach practices an ancient skill that most modern humans have long since forgotten: the ability to communicate directly with animals. This story follows her journey from the rugged mountains of Cape Town, where she walks among aggressive baboon troops, to high-security predator sanctuaries housing the world's most dangerous big cats.
