Pioneering research by scientists at the forefront of the animal-tracking revolution illuminates fascinating stories of animal behavior, such as warblers detecting storms using sonic vibrations and baboons making decisions. The book features stunning, four-color charts and maps that follow pythons racing through the Everglades, a lovelorn wolf traversing the Alps, and humpback whales visiting undersea mountains.
