What is it like to be an animal? - Helena Telkänranta
Can a dog be ashamed of its actions? Why do rats laugh? How far does an elephant's memory extend? Research into animal cognition, or mental function, has advanced rapidly in recent years. This book is a place for animal lovers to get the latest information. It tells us which animals have the ability to experience emotions, why even simple creatures learn complex things, and what kinds of senses animals have that are unknown to us.
The book's real-life cases provide practical tips for understanding the behavior of cats and dogs, among other things. The life of wild animals reveals, for example, what bears, ravens and killer whales are able to perceive and why play is more common in nature than many people realize. The book also surprises with fish that learn and parrots that make tools.
What is it like to be an animal? provides an up-to-date overview of the animal world. The work is fascinating, beautiful and important reading for everyone.
