Beastly brains : exploring how animals talk, think, and feel / Nancy F. Castaldo.

Summary:

"In this fascinating nonfiction account, author Nancy F. Castaldo reveals just what's going on inside the minds of animals, and through understanding animal intelligence we discover more about ourselves, including far more similarities than one might expect. Humans may have the biggest brains, but intelligence is not a quality exclusive to only us!"-- Provided by publisher.
