Bats Sing, Mice Giggle (eBook, ePUB)

The Surprising Science of Animals' Inner Lives

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Drawing upon the very latest scientific research, Karen Shanor and Jagmeet Kanwal show how animals build, create and entertain themselves and others; how they express grief, joy, anger and fear; how animal ‘friends’ keep in touch; and how some animals problem-solve even more effectively than humans.The result is a thrilling scientific exploration which unlocks for the first time the secret lives of the animal world. ‘Did you know that spiders taste with their feet, that a decapitated cockroach can live for two weeks, that a certain type of parrotfish wraps itself in a sort of foul-smelling snot before taking a nap, and that ants play? I didn’t until I read Bats Sing, Mice Giggle.’ New Scientist
