About this item
Fascinating and stunningly illustrated, Humanimal explores, and celebrates, the astonishing ways in which animals and humans are alike.So you think you're special? You think that just because people have built giant cities, invented pop-up toasters and put a person on the Moon that they are somehow different from other living things? Well it's time to think again! Humanimal shows the inextricable interconnections of the human and animal worlds in ways you never before imagined ... Inside you will discover how slime molds can solve how to navigate through a maze; how rats tickle and laugh out loud; how elephants have funerals for their lost loved ones; how bees vote in elections to decide where to locate their nests; how crows use cars to crack nuts and a whole lot more! This oversized, richly illustrated, mesmerizing exploration shows that humans and other animals don't just live on the same planet, they also share many of the same patterns of behavior, making us all fellow players in the drama that is life on Earth.
