Yup, it's a 1990's animal behavior textbook. I mean, what did you expect? And yes, I did read the entire thing. No, I don't know why.

This is the most advanced undergraduate text on animal behavior that I have found. It is well-written, provides a lot of detail, and is extremely comprehensive. I like the figures, but having some of them in color would be advantageous. Although I didn't assign this book to my students, I taught from it pretty extensively.

I had to get this textbook for an Animal Behavior Zoology class. I thought it was very informative. They used good examples to explain each concept. I felt like I learned a lot and I generally enjoyed it.
