This work traces the years of research and adventure that became a quest to rediscover an animal long thought extinct. In 1987 rumours began to filter out of Nepal that tribesmen had seen a massive elephantine creature in their traditional hunting grounds. From footprints and rare sightings, evidence was built up until a full exploration was mounted, and so began a catalogue of exploration and intrepid jungle adventure which took the small team to the heart of a legend.
