From the co-author of the New York Times bestseller When
Elephants Weep comes a book that uses true stories backed by
scientific research to explore the way young animals discover their
worlds and learn how to survive.
How does a baby animal figure out how to get around in the
world? How much of what animals know is instinctive, and how much
must they learn?
In Becoming a Tiger, bestselling author Susan McCarthy addresses
these intriguing matters, presenting fascinating and funny examples
of animal behaviour in the laboratory and in the wild. McCarthy
shows us how baby animals transform themselves from clueless
kittens, clumsy cubs, or scrawny chicks into efficient predators,
successful foragers, or deft nest-builders. From geese to mice,
dolphins to orang-utans, bats to (of course) tigers, McCarthy's
warm, amusing, and insightful examinations of animal life and
developments provides a surprising window into the mental worlds of
our fine fuzzy, furred, finned, and feathered friends.
oReaders will be fascinated by a close look at animal
intelligence, learning, and family life.
