A thrilling face-to-face encounter with animals in their own environment – their elaborate displays, intimate lives, and extraordinary behaviour.
Did you know that elephants give each other names, orangutans self-medicate, and rats giggle? Animal Behaviour is full of hundreds of stories that shed light on how animals navigate life in the wild.
Packed with vivid wildlife photography and action sequences, every aspect of animal life and behaviour is explored and explained – from courtship rituals and birth to hunting and communication. This book will take you on a journey through the animal kingdom, from red-headed rock agamas in Central Africa all the way to leopard seals in Antarctica, covering a huge range of magnificent creatures.
The book opens with an overview of animal anatomy and physiology, revealing the science and biomechanics that underpin animal behaviour, and later chapters thematically break down the intricacies of animal feeding, development, intelligence, learning, and other behavioural characteristics. Feature panels throughout the book explore the biology behind these traits, introduce case studies from the field, and highlight critical conservation issues.
Animal Behaviour has been created in collaboration with internationally renowned zoologist and TV presenter Charlotte Uhlenbroek, and a team of wildlife experts to ensure up-to-date and accurate information.
Whether you’re a long-time animal lover or looking to find a book the whole family can enjoy, Animal Behaviour is the book for you.
