Shortlisted for the 2018 Royal Society Investment Science Book Prize<BR>'Endlessly fascinating.' - Bill Bryson 'Eye-opening, informative and very funny!' - Chris Packham<BR>'Well-informed and downright funny' - Richard Dawkins<BR><BR><BR>History is full of strange animal stories invented by the brightest and most influential, from Aristotle to Disney. But when it comes to understanding animals, we've got a long way to go. <BR><BR>Whether we're watching a viral video of romping baby pandas or looking at a picture of penguins 'holding hands', we often project our own values - innocence, abstinence, hard work - onto animals. So you've probably never considered that moose get drunk and that penguins are notorious cheats. <BR><BR>In The Unexpected Truth About Animals Zoologist Lucy unravels many such myths - that eels are born from sand, that swallows hibernate under water, and that bears gave birth to formless lumps that are licked into shape by their mothers - to show that the stories we create reveal as much about us as they do about the animals. <BR><BR>Astonishing, illuminating and laugh-out-loud funny.
