Description

Explore the ingenious and funny behaviours found in the animal kingdom.

Animals can't talk like we do, and yet they have found a variety of different ways to communicate. Find out how dolphins use unique whistles to identify themselves, and how ants leave smelly chemical messages to tell each other where to find food.

Written by expert author Dr Ashley Ward, associate professor of Animal Behaviour at the University of Sydney, Australia, this humorous four-book series explores a wide range of animal behaviours, from survival skills and animal communication, to how animals learn and adapt to live in the most extreme environments.

The Zany Brainy Animals series combines funny and fascinating facts about the animal kingdom and includes behind-the-scenes stories in the 'Tales from the lab' panels about how scientists discover and study the featured animal behaviours. The amusing yet informative text covers key science topics such as adaptations, evolution and habitats.

This series isn't just a catalogue of fascinating animal facts. By including the process of investigation and discovery, this series aims to inspire readers to pursue careers in the field.

Perfect for readers 7+.
