Wild Wisdom looks at unexpected feats of communication and comprehension by animals at the Myrtle Beach Safari, a rare-animal sanctuary dedicated to global wildlife conservation education. From a great ape recognizing herself in a mirror to a dog and tiger creating their own language, each story is surprising and inspirational.

Moving photographs accompany these stories of animal perception and communication, which are told by Bhagavan "Doc" Antle, the founder of the Myrtle Beach Safari in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and director of the Rare Species Fund.
