It’s crazy that we (humans) are somewhat in charge and we are so selfish and only prioritize our needs without caring for how it affects all other beings. That in itself is scary because we might be only ones capable of realizing and somewhat understanding how other live and what they do to survive and we just don’t care. Humans conveniently forget that we share the planet with so many other species and we would be way smarter if we took the time to understand animals who have been roaming the earth way before us. With every single animal that goes extinct we lose an opportunity to learn about a different way of life and survival. 

I learned a lot of fun facts and it enjoyable. It was never preaching. It was simple to understand. Things were explained and connected to previously mentioned things in a comprehensive way. I was never lost even though a lot of ground was covered.

Ate up the first 75%, then the last quarter was a slog.

A brilliant exploration of what it might be like to be different animals, and also how that can help us know better what it means to be human.
