Fascinating examination of the world as other animals perceive it — and at how we unintentionally limit our understanding of it and of them. There's something here for every animal lover or nature enthusiast, including intriguing info about the largest mammals to the smallest insects. The audiobook is also outstanding — the author narrates it himself and his enthusiasm is evident but not distracting. Plus, his British accent is easy on these American ears and my attention refused to wander as long as there was a chance he'd say "zebra" with a short "e" again, which he does right through to the end. :-)
