A thrilling face-to-face encounter with animals in their own environment―their elaborate displays, intimate lives, and extraordinary behavior.

Did you know that elephants give each other names, orangutans self-medicate, and rats giggle? Animal Behavior is full of hundreds of stories that shed light on how animals navigate life in the wild.

Packed with vivid wildlife photography and action sequences, every aspect of animal life and behavior is explored and explained – from courtship rituals and birth to hunting and death. An initial overview of animal anatomy and physiology reveals the science and biomechanics that underpin animal behavior, while later chapters thematically break down the intricacies of animal feeding, development, communication, intelligence, learning, and other behavioral characteristics. Learn about play through river otters, see socialization among parrots at the riverbank, and catch prey with a fishing spider. Feature panels throughout the book explore the biology behind these traits, introduce case studies from the field, and highlight critical conservation issues facing these animals.

Animal Behavior has been created in collaboration with internationally renowned zoologist and TV presenter Charlotte Uhlenbroek and a team of wildlife experts to ensure up-to-date and accurate information.
