Animal Stories
Find out how similar you are to your favourite animal and how.
Did you know that most animals (including us) are shaped like tubes? That animals get a lot of the same diseases (and medical treatments) we do? Or that we are distant cousins to every animal on Earth, including jellyfish! We Are All Animals celebrates our whole furry, scaly, slimy, slippery extended family, smashing to smithereens the idea that humans are very different from the rest of the animal kingdom.
