Zoology

The animal kingdom holds secrets far stranger and more wondrous than we ever imagined, from the hidden sensory worlds of dogs and octopuses to the surprising emotional lives of creatures great and small. Books in this genre pull back the curtain on animal behavior, evolution, and biology — often revealing as much about our own human nature as they do about the beasts we share this planet with.
