ANIMAL GRIEF - HOW ANIMALS MOURN FOR EACH OTHER Author - David Alderton - Publisher - Hubble & Hattie Science is now providing some remarkable insights into animal behaviour, with crocodiles, for example, emerging as devoted parents, and elephants, like whales, able to communicate with each other across long distances by ultrasound, which is inaudible to our ears. There seems little doubt that animals experience a range of emotions, just as we do; but can they grieve, too ...? Evidence exists that, indeed, they can: in addition, David Alderton, award-winning, multi-million selling specialist animal author, contends that emotions, including grief, can potentially have a survival value for a species. The authoritative, rational text is superbly supported by interesting, sensitive photographs, carefully chosen to be reflective of the subject matter. Price: £11.74 Quantity:
