Produced by Jeroen Hellingman and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net/ "Dierenleven in de wildernis" by William J. Long is a collection of sketches exploring animal life in their natural habitats, translated from English and likely written in the early 20th century. The work presents a unique perspective on how animals learn and interact with their environment through observations of various species, depicting their behaviors and the instinctive lessons taught by parent animals to their young. The opening portion of the book introduces the premise that animals, much like humans, learn essential survival skills through the guidance of their parents. It recounts a poignant scene where a mother otter teaches her young to swim, emphasizing the importance of parental instruction in the education of young animals. In this way, Long sets the stage for a broader exploration of the remarkable pedagogy occurring in nature, suggesting that instinct alone is insufficient for survival, and highlighting the significant role of learned behavior and imitation in the animal kingdom.
