Pigs Aren’t Dirty, Bears Aren’t Slow: And Other Truths About Misunderstood Animals

The facts on beasts with bad raps. Lifelike illustrations and fascinating text invite the reader to explore and discover the truth about ten animals whose true selves are often quite surprising. Pigs are indeed clean creatures. They prefer sleeping on the highest ground in a pen — away from where any waste might drain. And don’t let the size of a bear fool you. Over short distances some bears can run as fast as a horse.
