SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc Why are animals better at doing some things than we are? How can some animals change colour, when we can't? How can they hear sounds we can't hear, or predict a storm long before we can? If you want to know the answer to these and many other questions, just ask an animal! Animals use different skills to perform these extraordinary feats, so for each question, there are answers from several creatures, each of which has developed its own special skills. On each page there is a box explaining how humans try to emulate these animal super-skills, with varying degrees of success!
