Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law

What should you do with a moose that crosses the road somewhere it’s not supposed to, or a bear caught breaking in? Three hundred years ago, such animals could even be put on trial, and a defender would be assigned to them. Today, as popular writer Mary Roach found out, the answer should be sought in the science that studies interaction between humans and animals. Roach and her listeners follow forensic specialists investigating attacks by wild animals on people, experts on conflicts between humans and elephants, and specialists in managing interactions with bears… When talking about animals that break human laws, Roach also reveals plenty about people. She concludes that, in the case of “problem” animals, it’s often human beings who are both the cause and the solution. This captivating, witty, and humane audiobook “Hair-Raising” offers hope for the humane coexistence of different species in the ever-expanding habitat of humans.
