Aristotle once said: "some animals are cunning and evil-disposed...some are gentle and easily tamed...some kinds of animals burrow...some animals are nocturnal...others use the hours of daylight..." In this little collection of animal stories, you will find animals that fit these descriptions and others that have characteristics and personalities that fit no particular category. These are animals going about the business of being animals, dealing with their daily lives, even though it may look a bit cock-eyed to the humans around them. One story may touch your heart, while another may leave you in awe...one or more may inspire or tug at the corners of your mouth but hopefully all will entertain.
