Social Life Of Animals

Author: Sukanya DuttaPublisher: National Book TrustYear: 2003Language: EnglishPages: 113ISBN/UPC (if available): 8123739370 DescriptionSociability in animals tends to be overshadowed by that of humans. This book will enchant the reader and perhaps catalyse a change of vision-from regarding Nature as being red in teeth and claw to a more charming perspective of the brotherhood of animals.However, even a cursory look reveals the richness of social traits inherent in animal society. Making friends, standing by combrades, nurturing young, celebrating kinship, recognizing a boss, mourning a loss, wooing a mate or cheating on arrival-animals do it all, though rigid relationship rules, and note motions, may guide them.ContentsForewordAcknowledgementsForming PartnershipsLiving in HarmonySpace of One’s OwnA Home and a MateStratification of SocietyAll for Generation NextScientific NamesBibliography
