Four stars for content, but definitely skip this one on audiobook. The author narrated it, which I usually like, but she has a somewhat grating, shrill voice that accents sentences in odd places. I ended up just reading this one in the end vs listening to it on audiobook.
For CONTENT, the book was a hoot! Loved it -- there were great anecdotes about bats, chimpanzees, "drunken moose", hippos, all kinds of animal behavior and physiology that I didn't know before. The book also went into the history of animal research from hundreds of years ago. It was interesting to see what people thought even 60 or 70 years ago about some of our animal physiology and behavior.
Great book if you like animal sciences and just plain interesting stories about animals. Just maybe skip the audiobook.

Lucy Cooke is freaking hilarious. I listened to the audio of this and was literally LOLing on the train, and getting the weirdest looks.
I learned so much! Some of it very disturbing, and will haunt me for the rest of my life (hyenas....wow)
This books is fun, and interesting, and excellently written.

Despite the clickbait title, this is a really good read. Cooke knows her stuff and is a stellar communicator. The title is a little misleading–it’s actually more about all the myths we promoted, endorsed, revised, and completely fabricated along the way, from beavers biting off their testicles to throw at hunters to penguins being strict monogamists.
It’s a riot. I love humans and I love non-human animals.
