Animals Like Us
Oss dyr imellom
You’ll never look at a peacock, fruit fly or human baby the same way again after reading this book!
How smart is a jellyfish? How come so many birds, lizards, and frogs are brilliantly coloured, while most mammals are drab. What is a stag supposed to do with his impressive antlers, and why are we humans just the way we are? What is the reason we find kittens so cute, and what’s the purpose of sleeping? What is the reason we feel safer in the light than in the dark?
In this sharply written and entertaining popular science book, zoologist Petter Bøckman explore the similarities and differences between us humans and other animals. Behind it all is a search for the human nature – a nature we find reflected in animals, from our closest cousins to critters like earthworms and jellyfish.
