Synopsis "Wild Fathers "

We humans have a great capacity to learn from other species, so it's only right that we compare ourselves with them every once in a while. Looking at how 'they' do the stuff we do is always interesting and can perhaps help us gain a greater understanding of the role of fatherhood. 'Wild Fathers' takes a close look at animal dads in the natural world and what that may say about fatherhood in humans, giving insights into truly fascinating paternal characteristics found in wild creatures including seahorses, frogs, penguins, primates, lions, wolves, seals and many more. Starting with the myriad ways of becoming a father, including different courtship patterns and mating systems, the book explores both the familiar and the bizarre. Once fatherhood is achieved many animal societies have evolved a major role for dads. The importance of pair bonding, fidelity and male role models are examined with a wink to our own rituals and societal norms. The planet is full of magnificent animals, some of which make good fathers who are remarkably committed, dedicating a huge part of their lives to raising their progeny. These fathers show ways of parenting that speak to us humans.
