Overview

Why are some cats outgoing, and others standoffish? Why are some dogs adventuresome, others homebodies?

Researchers are finding that each wolf, bear, and coyote has a different tendency to follow its predatory nature or to shyly avoid conflicts. Unique personalities can be discovered in every corner of the animal kingdom-including among insects and even microscopic organisms.
