The Secret Language of Animals
A Guide to Remarkable Behavior
I want to look at a cow without my mind saying cow, haiku’d Jim Harrison. And we should all be so lucky in the presence of a zebra, panda, or peacock. Fresh eyes are required to get an accurate idea of what an animal is doing when it lifts its tail, does a headstand, or flaunts its fancy tail feathers. Herein, we come to better understand twenty majestic creatures—gorilla, lion, elephant, rhinoceros, giraffe, flamingo, crocodile, komodo monitor, gray wolf, sandhill crane, polar bear, penguin, amongst others—and should we cross paths with one on a trail, this newfound knowledge might save us from being fresh meat.
