Serengeti's 5,600 square miles and the surrounding 10,000 square miles are home to an estimated 1,500,000 big game animals-as many as roam the rest of Africa combined-but the lush woodland is being turned increasingly into savannah. Neighboring farmers burn off trees to create pasture land, elephants topple trees. It had been believed previously that the elephants felled trees simply for food.

...Pimps. Despite this impediment, there is a broad range of choice for foreign workers and anyone else in Paris. In addition to the 35,000 regular prostitutes, there may be 75,000 part-time amateurs in Paris. Around the lush hotels, car-borne tarts lean out of flashy Lancias and Mercedes to proposition customers (one poule de luxe picks up droves in a splendid bronze Jaguar...
