Inside Animal Hearts and Minds: Bears that Count, Goats that Surf, and Other True Stories of Animal Intelligence and Emotions
Пра гэту аўдыякнігу
Hayden Panettiere’s engaging narration combined with these fascinating and heart-warming accounts of animal emotion and cognition by Belinda Recio is a delight.
In a world where a growing body of scientific research is closing the gap between the human and non-human, Inside Animal Hearts and Minds, read by Hayden Panettiere, invites us to change the way we view animals, the world, and our place in it. With the skill of a seasoned storyteller, Hayden captures the wonder and empathy for which the author, Belinda Recio, recipient of the Humane Society’s Award for Innovation in the Study of Animals and Society, is known.
Charles Darwin suggested more than a century ago that the differences between animals and humans are “of degree and not of kind.” How right he was! Scientists once denied that animals have emotions or true intelligence. But now, we know better. Rats laugh when tickled, magpies mourn, female whales travel thousands of miles for annual reunions, seals navigate by the stars, bears hum when happy, and crows slide down snowy rooftops for fun.
Learn about an orangutan who does “macramé,” monkeys that understand the concept of money, and rats that choose friendship over food. Even language, math, and logic are no longer exclusive to humans. Prairie dogs have complex vocabularies, parrots name their chicks, sea lions appear capable of deductive thinking, and bears, lemurs, parrots, and other animals can count.
