Zoologist Lucy Cooke believes we see animals the way we want to see them and not the way they are. We see pandas as cute and cuddly and we forget they are actually bears. Many of our wrong ideas actually date back to ancient Greece. In some ways we haven't changed our thinking since then. She makes this clear in her new book The Truth About Animals: Stoned Sloths, Lovelorn Hippos, and Other Tales from the Wild Side of Wildlife.

I rather think this would be a fun book to read. There is so much about wildlife that we don't know. A book by an open minded observer would have some interesting ideas and we would see animals in a new light. I hope the book is available soon.
