by Aristotle

It is a comprehensive study of the animal kingdom, exploring its different species and their behavior, habitats, and anatomy.

Composed in the 4th century BCE, "History of Animals" covers a wide range of species, including birds, fish, and mammals, with a focus on their unique characteristics and adaptations.

In addition to its scientific significance, "History of Animals" is also an important piece of literature, showcasing Aristotle's writing style and the clarity of his thought.
