Some animal societies can be a mirror up to the human world: elephants hold funerals for departed family members. Pinyon jays run collective nurseries. Rats will go out of their way to help a cold, wet stranger. Travelling the world from the Serengeti to the Antarctic ocean, with stops in the muddy fields and streams of his native Yorkshire, Ashley Ward brings a curious eye and infectious humor to this world-expanding, myth-busting tour of some of nature's social interactions.
