The animal dialogues
From Smithsonian, thinking like a monkey: What do our primate cousins know and when do they know it? Laurie Santos is trying to read their minds. A review of Machiavellian Intelligence: How Rhesus Macaques and Humans Have Conquered the World by Dario Maestripieri. A review of The Animal Dialogues: Uncommon Encounters in the Wild by Craig Childs. A boom in panda production is good for both bears and business. A review of The Domesday Book of Giant Salmon: A Record of the Largest Atlantic Salmon Ever Caught by Fred Buller (and more). Take that, Ahab: A review of The Whale Warriors: The Battle at the Bottom of the World To Save the Planet's Largest Mammals by Peter Heller.
