Uwielbiam książki o przyrodzie i sam dobór tematów był o.k. Niestety autor uparł się na antropomorfizację wszystkich zwierząt i czytałem o małżeństwach ptaków, prostytucji (sic!) ptaków, zazdrości, flirtowaniu, proszeniu o seks przez psy, co miałoby polegać na stawaniu na tylnych łapach i zginaniu przednich, etc, etc. Plus błędy rzeczowe wskazywane przez tłumacza, które nie wynikały z przestarzałych danych. Bardziej mnie ta książka zmęczyła niż dostarczyła wiedzy. Nie polecam.
