Do animals think? This book argues that they do, showing memory, planning, and problem solving across many species.
It gathers observations and incidents to explore how animals think, learn, and adapt, sometimes in surprising ways, from elephants and beavers to dogs, spiders, and horses. The author aims to present a case that intelligence and reason extend beyond humans, inviting readers to reconsider how they view the animal world.
The pages present vivid examples of animals solving problems, remembering past events, and communicating with others. It treats these talents as signs of thinking, not just instinct, and frames the discussion with both curiosity and respect for animal life.
Ideal for readers curious about animal minds and natural history, offering accessible examples without heavy science jargon.
