Amazing Wildlife: Amazing Wildlife: True Stories About Wild Animals Who Demonstrated Intelligence, Adaptability, Friendship, Compassion and Individuality

Judy has been rescuing, raising, and rehabilitating Montana wildlife for almost 50 years. In that time, she and her rehabber friends cared for thousands of different animals, the majority being birds. The animals demonstrated behaviors scientists claimed they don't do or are incapable of doing. For example, the beautiful female Long-eared Owl who came back to ask her human mom for help when she had trouble catching enough mice for her youngsters, or the fledgling Red Crossbills who proved to science how they make their bills cross. There are also stories about adorable babies like a tiny badger with a white heart on her nose, the little fox with a broken leg and how she found help, and several darling bear cubs and their accomplishments. Many other animals did remarkable things as youngsters or after they grew up, as their stories show. When Judy told people about the amazing behaviors shown by birds and other animals, they often said she should write a book, so she began keeping notes. What Judy and her colleagues saw and experienced predated but verify recent findings by researchers which show that mammals, birds, reptiles, fish and other animals (including insects) act intelligently, often work with others, have friendships, are adaptable, exhibit compassion, and have individual personalities. These qualities, in research subjects and those animals whose stories are told in Amazing Wildlife, strongly indicate we have only begun to scratch the surface regarding the remarkable abilities of other species with which we share the planet.
