Well-schooled fish and feathered bandits : the wondrous ways animals learn from animals / Peter Christie.
Full-color photographs and text describe how various animals copy other animals of their own kind to accomplish certain tasks. By copying other animals of their kind, the creatures in this book have learned some of their best tricks -- what to eat, what to avoid, how to make tools and communicate -- even how to belong to the group.
