Just when you thought you knew everything about sloths...
I learned more than I thought possible from this book of misunderstood animals. Trigger warning for those sensitive to topics like animal testing. My only critique is that less time could have been spent unfolding the errors of human thought and more time devoted to the behavioral and emotional patterns of the animals themselves.

This is really interesting and I’m never going to read anything better than the section about the London report on the sexual behavior of Adélies. It’s a little dry here and there, but I really enjoyed reading it!

I give this 3.8 stars. I liked it a lot but there some issues, like when talking about Lucy the chimpanzee, then going straight to oh things are better now. Like Washoe never happened.
Overall, however, this book was really good. If you're fans of Mary Roach and animals, you will like this book!

Every once in a while I need to read a science book, preferably one that speaks about animals and conservation. And this one joined both topics, but also combined them with Natural History and humour. If only my university classes had been so entertaining I wouldn't have skipped so many and I might have had better results.
I recommend this book to everyone who likes to know real facts about real animals, especially the ones that tend not to have so much cuteness factor, like vultures and toads. But even if they do have the cuteness overload, like pandas do, maybe we need to understand why contributing to the viral videos that seem so sweet and funny might actually not be doing them a world of good.
It was a really great read, and I will be looking forward for more books from this author.
