Wild Rituals by Caitlin O’Connell

In Wild Rituals, elephant scientist Caitlin O'Connell examines 10 rituals non-human animals exhibit in the wild and how they relate to our own rituals, traditions, and experiences. Caitlin O'Connell uses her many years studying and observing elephants and other animals to provide a touching examination that details our connection with animals and how we can learn to become more self-aware and compassionate. From playful encounters to funerary practices, it becomes evident that we are not so different from other animals, especially in how we engage socially.
