When seeking to understand animals, context is key. Humans have a habit of viewing the animal kingdom through the prism of our own narrow existence. Zoologist and documentary filmmaker Lucy Cooke is fascinated by the myths people create about animals to fill in the gaps in our understanding, and how much they reveal about the mechanics of discovery and the people doing the discovering. In this book she has gathered together the biggest misconceptions and mistakes made about the animal kingdom, and recounts the experiences that have opened her eyes to many surprising realities about animals and the progress of animal science.

Let's find out the real truths about animals, shall we? No more of this fake animal news.
That's what this book is all about. Lucy Cooke mows down all the absurd beliefs about animals we have held all our lives, as well as the preposterous beliefs shared in years past, but also shares all the equally ridiculous, but true, facts about animals. She takes on all our favorites—-pandas, hippos, bats, penguins, and more.
More, more, more, please.
