The Evolution of Fatherhood: A Celebration of Animal and Human Families: Jeffrey Masson offers a remarkable look at one of the most fulfilling roles in the animal world: fatherhood. He examines the extraordinary behavior of outstanding fathers, heroes among animals, including: the male emperor penguin, who incubates the egg of his young through Antarctic blizzards; prairie dog dads, who teach their pups to play; the South American tamarin monkey, who ”coaches” his mate through labor and delivery; and the wolf – and why wolves make good fathers, whereas their close relatives, dogs, don't. Masson also looks at nature's worst fathers: lions, langurs, bears – and humans.
