Summary:
"Devoted pigs, two-timing magpies, and scheming roosters. Peter Wohlleben's wealth of personal experience observing nature in forests and fields with the latest scientific research into how animals interact with the world. Horses feel shame, deer grieve, and goats discipline their kids. Ravens call their friends by name, rats regret bad choices, and butterflies choose the very best places for their children to grow up. Peter Wohlleben follows his Hidden Life of Trees with these insightful stories into the emotions, thoughts, and intelligence of animals around us. Animals are different from us in amazing ways - and they are also much closer to us than we ever would have thought. Peter Wohlleben writes on ecological themes. He manages a municipally owned, environmentally friendly woodland in Germany."--Inside cover.
