Through 13 chapters, each dedicated to a different animal, Lucy Cooke offers up a host of Animal histories weird facts and experiments. From Space Storks, Conscripted Bats, elusive Eels to a daring mission for a penguin egg and a glimpse of a young Simund Freud.

Peppered throughout are anecdotes about other animals and her own experiences. I absolutely loved this one, itbwas so funny and eye opening in terms of the beliefs and thoeries of the past.

It concludes, warning the dangers of anthropomorphism and the arrogance of humans, how we have a history of viewing the animal kindgom to source our own needs instead of existing separately from us.

Definitely a perfect read for anyone with nature interests, be warned that it can be a little graphic in terms of past experiments.
