Lion Shaped Mountain: A fable as told through the eyes of wild chimpanzees

Inspired by his work in Sierra Leone primatologist Andrew R. Halloran tells a literary tale of battle and bloodshed through the eyes of chimpanzees. In a remote corner of West Africa in a place that only the locals know about the world of a young chimpanzee is changed forever by forces beyond his control. Lion Shaped Mountain is the story of chimpanzees struggling to survive against a world that becomes less survivable for them each day and the resilience it takes to stay alive. It is a tale told through the eyes of our closest living relatives of how every facet of ones environment dictates ones world -- the flora and fauna the actions and reactions the histories and the present the beliefs and realities. These are the forces that affect us all....and implicate us all.
