Clever Creatures in the Animal Kingdom

What makes an animal smart? What IS smart?

£18.95 Price incl. VAT

Our human brains have taken us all around the globe, and even into space… But we are not the only clever creatures on the planet. Some animals are so smart that we don’t even know the extent of their intelligence. How do some animals play? How do they use tools? How do they solve problems? How do they communicate? How do their memories work? Do they feel emotions like we do?

Smart Animals features octopuses navigating mazes, rats outsmarting lab experiments, dolphins naming each other, orangutans solving riddles, elephants holding a grudge for decades, and many more. Get ready for the most marvelous and mind-blowing masterminds from our animal kingdom!
