The animals themselves are your guides in this fresh look at the question of animal intelligence. Going beyond everyday encounters at home and in the zoo, this wide-ranging collection of real-life anecdotes takes the reader on a journey into the minds and hearts of animals. Amazing feats of stealth, deception and larceny, along with unexpected acts of kindness and friendship, offer compelling evidence of their higher mental capabilities and their awareness of the needs and feelings of others.
