"A vast majority of people live among or near a wide array of wild neighbors without even knowing they're trying to make their homes close to ours. I'm constantly asked questions about who they are, various aspects of their behavior, and why they are there, among other queries about these very interesting and important beings."
"In this eye-opening book, he offers fascinating science-based and easy-to-read stories about the behavior of these all too often misunderstood animals, including a collection of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and invertebrates, all sentient beings whose lives must be appreciated and matter. Appreciating and understanding these wild creatures is important for rewilding our hearts and minds."
"I've always been in love with wildlife, from the big, fluffy things to the itty-bitty creepy crawlies. But over the course of 15 years as a science journalist specializing in the animal beat, I've often been surprised at how little each of us knows about the animals all around us."
A wide range of wild animals live near human communities, often without people realizing their presence or intentions. A science-based, illustrated collection presents stories about about fifty least understood animals across mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and invertebrates. The accounts focus on behavior and the importance of recognizing these animals as sentient beings whose lives matter. Examples include monarch butterflies emerging from a goo-like stage and beavers being introduced into new habitats. Learning about these creatures helps people coexist with them and appreciate their roles in shared environments. Accepting their presence is presented as good for animals and for humans.
