520			_a"Raubwild und Dickhäuter in Deutsch-Ostafrika" by Hans Besser is a natural history account written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on the author's first-hand observations and experiences with large mammals—predators and big game—in what was then German East Africa. The likely topic of the book includes detailed encounters with wildlife such as lions, leopards, hyenas, jackals, and wild dogs, combined with insights into their behavior, hunting practices, and the interactions between humans, animals, and the African environment. The opening of this work begins with a foreword, where the author reflects on the limitations of observing wild animals in European zoos compared to witnessing their natural behaviors in the wild. He establishes his credentials through fourteen years of extensive travel and exploration in German East Africa, armed with both rifle and camera. The narrative then moves to vivid anecdotes about meetings with lions—highlighting both their legendary and real characteristics—before recounting personal hunting stories and interactions with indigenous people. Subsequent sections transition to encounters with other predators such as leopards and hyenas, offering practical details about their habits, the challenges of hunting, and the often perilous relationship between humans and wildlife in colonial Africa.
