Jon Rood will bring the plains of the Serengetti to the Blue Ridge Mountains in a special program at the Rappahannock Coiinty Library on Thursday, April 1, at 7:30 p.m.
Jon, his wife, Hazel, and their daughter, Josephine, divide their time between the Serengetti Wildlife Research Center in Tanzania and their home in Sperryville. Lions, wild beasts, elephants and rhinos, exotic stuff for county residents, are commonplace to the Roods.
Jon. a PhD research specialist and zoologist, will share the family's African experiences and impressions through a talk and films as part of the library program.
A Guggenheim Fellow at the Research Center, Rood is primarily concerned with the life and habits of the mongoose. He and his family speak with warmth and affection of these animals and dismiss lightly the clicheassociation made by most people to their snake-killing proclivities, attributable to the fertile imagination of Rudyard Kipling in his famous story of Rikki-TikkiTavi. The mongoose, a relatively small animal, comes in almost as many sizes, shapes and designs as the American automobile.
