Bats Sing, Mice Giggle

The Surprising Science of Animals' Inner Lives

By: Jagmeet Kanwal,Karen Shanor

Bats Sing, Mice Giggle" tracks many years of research by hundreds of scientists that reveals how wild animals, as well as pets, have inner, secret lives of which until recently - although many animal lovers will have instinctively believed it - we have had little proof. The authors show how animal 'friends' stay in touch, and how they warn and help each other in times of danger; how some animals problem-solve as or in some instances even more effectively than humans - and how they regulate, create, and entertain themselves and others. They show how animals express grief and reverence in ways we never thought possible. From the sleep patterns of some owls, birds and horses, as well as porpoises, who go to sleep in only one half of their brains at a time; to how schools of electric fish give off complex signals of one frequency to communicate with their mates and another frequency to locate their prey, and how Polar bears tune into quantum 'radio stations' to sense prey as far away as ten miles and under the snow, "Bats Sing, Mice Giggle" provides an unparalleled insight into animals' secret lives.

Bats Sing, Mice Giggle

The Surprising Science of Animals' Inner Lives

By: Karen Shanor,Jagmeet S. Kanwal

Did you know that bats compose their own songs and babble to each other? Or that mice giggle when they are tickled? That lizards do push-ups to seduce a mate, or that elephants mimic the sounds of passing trucks to stave off loneliness? "Bats Sing, Mice Giggle" is the culmination of many years of research that reveals how wild animals, as well as pets, have secret, inner lives of which until recently - although animal lovers will have instinctively believed it - we have had little proof. The authors show how animal friends keep in touch, and how they warn and help each other in times of danger; how some animals problem-solve even more effectively than humans - and how they build, create, and entertain themselves and others. Shanor and Kanwal reveal the sleep patterns of dolphins, who go to sleep in only one half of their brains at a time; and how schools of electric fish generate and use complex electric fields to determine their location within the group. They show how animals express grief, joy, anger and fear, and experience a similar breadth of emotions as we humans. "Bats Sing, Mice Giggle" is a unique, eye-opening voyage of discovery through animals inner lives - one which emphasizes just how animal we humans are.
