Think Like A Goat (a fun book about animal intelligence)
Think Like a Goat is a wonderful readable book for young people, teaching how different species are just as smart as us, in this glorious exploration of animal intelligence.
Sure, some (!) humans are smart. But many animals are very smart too:
- Some birds can store seeds in thousands of different places, and then remember where they are, months later.
- Octopuses can camouflage themselves as rocks, plants and other creatures to avoid predators.
- Fireflies can communicate with another, by flashing light signals, from their tummies!
Covering four broad categories of intelligence:
- Communication
- Social learning and co-operation
- Problem-solving and memory
- Emotional intelligence
