Aesop’s Animals by Jo Wimpenny
The Science Behind the Fables
A lively tour of animal cognition that tests the truth behind well-known fables, using modern research to investigate whether traits like the crow’s ingenuity, the fox’s cunning, the ant’s industry, and the owl’s wisdom hold up in real life. Drawing on experiments and field studies of species such as corvids, dogs, primates, and others, it reveals how animals solve problems, plan, cooperate, and deceive, while puncturing myths and showing that intelligence is diverse, context‑dependent, and often surprising.
