Eugene Linden takes readers on another unforgettable journey into the hearts and minds of animals, going beyond our everyday encounters with animals at home and in the zoo in a wide-ranging collection of real life anecdotes.
'The Octopus And The Orangutan' finds intelligent behaviour in surprising new places, ranging from the octopus's garden to the crow's nest. Amazing feats of strength, deception, and larceny accompany unexpected acts of kindness and friendship. Animals show they are cagey bargainers and tough negotiators both with their human keepers and with one another in this entirely new collection of stories sure to delight animal lovers everywhere.
