It’s interesting, but I’be realised I’m not in the mood for it. I think books covering various species of animal like this also work better as documentaries, or simply following one geographic location or species group.

Maravillosa colección de breves ensayos (doce en total) que tratan distintos temas sobre los animales, desde la reproducción a la lucha pasando por la simbiosis, la adaptación a los extremos... Sir David Attenborough escribe (y lo traducen) de manera igualmente hipnótica que cuando habla en sus documentales. Una auténtica gozada de libro. Obra maestra.

Read this book with my dear friend Maria as a book club, and it was super interesting. Basically like an animal life documentary series but in book form, with plenty of big pictures. I thought it was well organized and flowed well, and described the animal actions in a way that made it easy to visualize. Definitely would’ve been cool as a tv series but the book was pretty fun too.

Loved this. David Attenborough 's books are always a joy to read. Pictures are excellent and add much to the understanding of animal behaviour.
