Eavesdropping on Animals (learning from wildlife conversations)
Eavesdropping on Animals is a book by a Yellowstone wildlife ecologist, who shares fascinating stories and insights on how to tap into animal sounds, and decode the secret conversations happening all around you.
Whereas humans once relied on the calls of wild animals to understand the natural world (and their place in it) now this remarkable guide reveals what our ancestors knew long ago: that animal sounds can tell us important information, and help us feel connected to the wild community.
The book also includes information and advice for readers living in urban and suburban areas, not just in rural villages. You can listen and observe wildlife in your own backyard, or in local parks, fields and forests. This book can lead to extraordinary experiences and a profound sense of belonging.
Are you ready to listen to your wild neighbours? Are you ready to learn how to tell a warning call from a mating call, or a purr of satisfaction from idle chatter? Then this book is for you!
