In The Inner Life of Animals, Peter Wohlleben invites readers into a hidden world where creatures exhibit emotions and intelligence once thought uniquely human. Through compelling stories of devoted pigs, cunning magpies and territorial roosters, the book blends cutting-edge research with Wohlleben’s own observations in forests and fields.

Readers will encounter moments of grief when deer mourn, scenes of compassion as goats guide their young and surprising intelligence in ravens calling friends by name. From rats regretting poor choices to butterflies selecting optimal sites for offspring, each story reveals the depth of animal cognition and feelings.
