The Truth about Animals: Stoned Sloths, Lovelorn Hippos, and Other Tales from the Wild Side of Wildlife by Lucy Cooke

5.0

I adore this book. Its informative, but has a tone that is conversational and personable. I have a heard time capturing everything that this books is. This book includes: the quirks of animals and explanations, the historic misunderstandings, cultural contexts, conservation, and general interesting commentary on the relationship between animals and humans.

I have been sharing the facts I learned in this book with anyone with who spoke with me in the weeks following. I hope she writes more books similar because it seems as though this is the tip of the iceburg!
