—Sy Montgomery, bestselling author of
The Soul of an Octopus
Through vivid stories of devoted pigs, two-timing magpies, and scheming roosters,
weaves the latest scientific research into how animals interact with the world with Peter Wohlleben's personal experiences in forests and fields. We learn that 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.In this captivating book, Peter Wohlleben follows the hugely successful
The Hidden Life of Trees
with insightful stories into the emotions, feelings, and intelligence of animals around us. Animals are different from us in ways that amaze us—and they are also much closer to us than we ever would have thought.
“Wry, avuncular, careful and kind. . . Each story adds to a widening vision of intelligence, emotion and relationship.”—
