In this book, you will find not only a systematic review of existing data on the emotions and temperament of primates, birds, whales, elephants, canids, felines, equines or rodents, but also many interesting facts that encourage reflection on the emotional life of animals. It turns out that animals are more similar to us than we humans think. When tickled, they giggle, mourn their loss, are vindictive, sometimes get angry with the wrong people, or suffer from emotional disorders.

The monograph presents unique material on the emotions and temperament traits of animals. It is based on the most up-to-date knowledge from interesting and often methodologically very complex studies. The reader will find interesting data on altruism, social bonds, joy or the way animals experience grief. Studies reveal that animals exhibit not only the simplest form of empathy, i.e. catching emotions, but also higher levels, consisting of adopting an empathic perspective, showing care or taking actions to improve the well-being of other individuals (including representatives of other species).

Reading this book is not only a dose of knowledge, but also an inspiration to change our view of animals and their place in our lives. It encourages us to take a closer look at the small and large companions of our lives, discovering in them the richness of emotions and feelings. It is a book that opens eyes and hearts to the world of animals, showing that we are more connected to them than we think.
