Amazing Animals

We humans tend to think that we are unique in our intelligence, social skill and depth of emotion, but we think too much of ourselves. The animal kingdom teems with hidden stories of the weird and fascinating, and in this eBook, Amazing Animals*, we gather recent research on animal behavior, including surprising discoveries of how animals think and feel, from man's best friend to some of the earth's oddest creatures.

*Editor's Note: Special Edition was published as The Secret Lives of Animals. The eBook adaptation contains all of the articles, except for "Einstein of the Sea" and "The Secret Lives of Horses," and some artwork has been removed to optimize viewing on tablet devices.
