As Jane quietly observed the gorillas from a respectful distance, one of them curiously approached her. The intense exchange of gazes between Jane and this captivating creature created an unbreakable bond that continues to inspire her work today.
Unexpected Companions: When Animals Become Our Friends
Animals have an incredible ability to connect with humans on a deep emotional level. This powerful bond often manifests when animals find themselves in dire situations and seek comfort and companionship from unexpected sources. The story of Bella, the loyal dog who became a companion to a lost hiker, is a testament to the unwavering loyalty and love that animals can offer.
Back in the summer of 2015, John, an avid hiker, found himself disoriented and lost during a hike in the vast mountain range. As darkness descended, panic set in. Out of the darkness, a stray dog appeared, guiding John back to safety through treacherous terrain.
The connection between John and Bella is a heartwarming example of how animals can step in as saviors and transform our lives in unimaginable ways. This close encounter not only saved John from a potentially life-threatening situation but also forged an unbreakable bond between man and animal.
Uncovering Nature's Language: The Beauty of Communication
Animals communicate with each other in diverse ways, using an impressive array of signals, sounds, and behavior. Observing their interactions can unlock the secrets of nature's language, revealing the complexity and harmony of the animal kingdom.
One remarkable instance of animal communication is the synchronization seen in schools of fish. Through perfect coordination and unspoken cooperation, these close-knit groups navigate treacherous waters, evading predators and finding food. Witnessing this harmonious synchrony can leave humans in awe of nature's intricate ways.
Through careful study and documentation, renowned marine biologist Dr. Lily has decoded some of the secrets behind this awe-inspiring phenomenon. Her research reveals the intricate signaling and communication strategies employed by these marvelous creatures.

These encounters have the power to inspire, transform, and deepen our appreciation for the natural world in all its breathtaking glory.

Extraordinary new insights into the minds and lives of our fellow creatures from two of the world’s top animal authors, Elizabeth Marshall Thomas and Sy Montgomery.
A Mail on Sunday “Critic's Pick” Best Read of the Year
"In their writing and in their lives and in their remarkable friendship, Liz and Sy break down false barriers and carry us closer to our fellow creatures.”—from the foreword by Vicki Constantine Croke, author of Elephant Company
Tamed and Untamed―a collection of essays penned by two of the world's most celebrated animal writers, Sy Montgomery and Elizabeth Marshall Thomas―explores the minds, lives, and mysteries of animals as diverse as snails, house cats, hawks, sharks, dogs, lions, and even octopuses.
Drawing on stories of animals both wild and domestic, the two authors, also best friends, created this book to put humans back into the animal world. The more we learn about what other animals think and do, they explain, the more we understand ourselves as animals, too. Writes Montgomery, “The list of attributes once thought to be unique to our species―from using tools to waging war―is not only rapidly shrinking, but starting to sound less and less impressive when we compare them with other animals’ powers.”
With humor, empathy, and introspection, Montgomery and Thomas look into the lives of all kinds of creatures―from man’s best friend to the great white shark―and examine the ways we connect with our fellow species. Both authors have devoted their lives to sharing the animal kingdom’s magic with others, and their combined wisdom is an indispensable contribution to the field of animal literature.
The book contains a foreword by Vicki Constantine Croke, author of the bestseller Elephant Company.
