The Inner Lives of Animals

Dr. Vint Virga (The Soul of All Living Creatures) is likely the only veterinarian in the country whose fulltime job is tending to the psychological welfare of animals in captivity. What does it mean when an elephant lowers her head and folds her trunk beneath it? Or when a zebra wuffles, softly blowing air between her lips? Virga enlightens us on how animals – in captivity or in our homes – are reporting their inner states and how we can respond.
