The hidden guardians

Across the world, in forests, deserts, oceans, and icy wastes, life quietly observes. From the keen eyes of wolves and raptors to the subtle signals of desert foxes and salamanders, animals possess a remarkable awareness that humans often overlook. They sense danger, predict storms, guide others, and act in ways that hint at intelligence beyond instinct.

In The Hidden Guardians, Fred Stone explores the extraordinary perception of animals through folklore, firsthand accounts, and real-life stories from every corner of the globe. Discover how camels in the desert warn of sandstorms, dolphins protect humans from hidden dangers, polar bears anticipate shifting ice, and birds signal impending weather. From ancient myths to modern observations, this book reveals the hidden world of nature's silent watchers and the lessons they offer humanity.

Richly detailed, immersive, and sometimes astonishing, The Hidden Guardians is both a celebration of the natural world and a compelling reminder that we share it with creatures of extraordinary insight and intelligence. Open your eyes to the world around you—and learn to see what the animals already know.
