Description

Sociability in animals tends to be overshadowed by that of humans. This book will enchant the reader and perhaps catalyse a change of vision-from regarding Nature as being red in teeth and claw to a more charming perspective of the brotherhood of animals.

However, even a cursory look reveals the richness of social traits inherent in animal society.
Making friends, standing by combrades, nurturing young, celebrating kinship, recognizing a boss, mourning a loss, wooing a mate or cheating on arrival-animals do it all, though rigid relationship rules, and note motions, may guide them.
