520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. "Straußenpolitik : Neue Tierfabeln" by Th. Zell is a collection of popular zoological essays written in the early 20th century. The work challenges common “animal fables” and anthropomorphic assumptions, replacing them with evidence-based explanations from natural history and field observation. It examines the adaptive logic behind animal form and behavior, from hippos and giraffes to predators, domesticates, and birds, arguing that utility, ecology, and risk—not human-like motives—drive what animals do. The tone is skeptical yet accessible, appealing to readers who enjoy myth-busting about the natural world. The opening of the book sets the program: a brief foreword promises a continuation of earlier myth critiques, then the author refutes “improvers” who claim nature botched the hippo and giraffe, showing why bulk, long legs, and browsing diets are advantageous and why zoo feeding misleads. He distinguishes shame from guilt, arguing animals likely lack shame but may show guilt or awareness, illustrated with dogs, goats, and an ape understanding consequences, while reinterpreting feline “embarrassment” as hunting limits or habit. He explains predators’ caution toward humans as rational risk-avoidance given our unpredictable weapons, not awe of upright posture, and notes how hunger or infirmity yields man-eaters. He disputes that only herd animals can be domesticated, contrasting tameable solitary species (lynx, cheetah) with dangerous or impractical herd species, and stresses danger, temperament, and human utility as the real factors. He recasts equine “nervousness” as justified vigilance of fleeing herbivores shaped by predation, illustrated by zebras, deer startling at sudden events, and the contrasting boldness of defensive bovines. Finally, he questions claims that animals “admire themselves” in mirrors, using a titmouse at a mirror to argue recognition is misread, before the discussion cuts off. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
