Have you ever wondered how the world would have been like without animals? As gullible as they ostensibly look, some of these creatures possess burning wisdom that so seems to give us food for thought.

From the birds of the air that mesmerised Leonardo Da Vinci to design a flying machine – to the psychologically competent elephants — to the kings of the jungle that have inspired the utopia of leadership — to the workaholic ants that takes no not for an answer — and to the dogs that seem unparalleled in loving dearly, this book looks at some of the most illustrious animals with eyes of an eagle.
