The BITCH is Back with Zoologist and Bestselling Author Lucy Cooke

Ellen Petry Leanse

Stories shape our world – and our lives. Even when they're simply... stories, not actual truths.

That's where Lucy Cooke comes in. With a deep understanding of the natural world and the courage to be a shotcaller, she goes to where the truth is revealed: the wild places our animal kin inhabit, getting first-hand accounts of what the world's species are really about.

Looking beyond outdated perspectives and challenging the biases that have skewed our stories, she reveals the incredible complexity of animal cultures – and deeper truths about humans (and how our stories often get US wrong).
