There will be no need for "No shooting" signs. The crater is 100 miles from a railway, in the midst of wild country. Lions and tigers ave the watch dogs of the forests that surround it. The number of animals in the crater is estimated at. 750,000.
The crater is, in fact, a city of animals, who have lived there for centuries safe from attack. Its steep sides made it a citadel of the forest, and while in all other parts of the world the work of extermination went on, no hunter dared to penetrate this fastness. Thus it is highly probable that animals which have perished elsewhere have survived at Ngoro Ngoro.
Other volcanoes are grouped about the central crater of Ngoro Ngoro. More than one of them is larger than Mount Etna. The whole region, ages ago, was the scene of a terrific volcanic upheaval.
