166 Pages Indexed. A Dover permanent book that appears to have never been opened. Pages are sewn in signatures so that the binding will not split. Unabridged republication of English translation. Interior text pages are flawless. Illustrated with 30 photographs. In this book the author, Director of the Zurich Zoo uses his observations for a series of essays in animal psychology with emphasis on the behavior of animals in zoos and circuses. He discusses the history of animal psychology as a science using examples of wild animals that develop without man's interference. He discusses how animals live in the wild, demonstrating the similarities of human and animal homes, even to the extent of room divisions and roads between homes. Dr. Hediger includes fascinating accounts of curious facts such as the mysterious synchronization that allows shoals of fish to move in perfect unison, and his discussion of animal social relationships-fighting, care of the young, and the begging so typical in zoos. There are chapters on flight patterns, the special behavior of circus animals, comparison of wild and domestic animals, animal expression, and play and training. Contents in 11 Chapters: An Approach to Animal Psychology, How Animals Live, The Animal's Daily Life, The Animal and its Enemies, Flight and Hypnosis, Animals Among Themselves, Mother and Child, Wild and Domestic Animals, Animal Psychology in the Circus, Play and Training and The Animal's Expression.…
