On peut lire des pages extraordinaires sur le sujet dans le livre Animals in Translation de la tout aussi extraordinaire Temple Grandin dont le Kiosque a déjà parlé. Diplômée universitaire, autiste, elle est LA spécialiste mondiale du comportement animal.

Extrait de la critique du Guardian

« Grandin, in contrast, starts from inside the animal’s mind: what kinds of stimuli might make an animal frightened? What kinds of stimuli might make an animal angry? What do we know about the neuroscience of animal drives that might help us predict its behaviour? Grandin’s incredibly patient, thorough, fine-grained analysis of animal behaviour results in her understanding it to the point of being able to predict it, fix it, control it and explain it. Her book almost stands as a manual for animal behaviour. »
