Description:
Why do fish swim in schools? Do cats and dogs see in colour? These and other fascinating questions in animal behaviour can be found in this readable reference work. It contains over 200 articles, each written by a specialist, on a wide range of topics - such as how animals select their partners, bring up their young, organize their societies, and generally respond to the environment. Original line drawings illustrate the text throughout.
