Description
|
|
|
|
The author of Dogs Never Lie About Love and When Elephants Weep, Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson—a former psychoanalyst and projects director of the Sigmund Freud Archives—has a genuine passion for animals that has earned him a reputation as one of our most provocative authorities on animal behavior. Here, in short essays, he visits 100 of his favorite animals, offering intriguing facts, anecdotes, and surprising tidbits on creatures ranging from dolphins and hummingbirds to bonobos and kakapos. Frogs, for instance, can mate for months at a time; koalas have tiny brains, possibly because they sleep for 20 hours a day; and lobsters, if allowed to, can live for nearly a century.
