Did you know that octopuses use coconut shells as tools?
Did you know that elephants can classify us humans by gender and language?
Did you know there is a young male chimpanzee at Kyoto University whose flash memory likely puts yours to shame?
Explore the oddities and complexities of animal cognition in; crows, dolphins, parrots, sheep, wasps, bats, chimpanzees and bonobos. Maybe the animals will take over before the robots after all?
Join the book club as we discuss "Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart the Animals Are" by Frans de Waal. This discussion will be lead by WU's own Michelle. As always, this is a chill book club, you do not need to finish the book (or read it) to join.

Carbon Offsetting
Wilderness Union offsets the estimated carbon emissions of every trip by investing in a global portfolio of verified carbon reduction projects.
