Books on animal behavior are a lot easier to grasp and more entertaining to think about, at least for me. <br /><br />Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15097908023032528200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980951139270141970.post-51697688837144427642016-05-21T09:30:30.949-05:002016-05-21T09:30:30.949-05:00Wow!
