A pandemonium of parrots, a cackle of hyenas, an exaltation of larks – these are just a few of the animals that we define by the sounds they make.

His new book, “The Zoologist’s Guide to the Galaxy: What Animals on Earth Reveal About Aliens and Ourselves,” outlines his theory that aliens most likely developed in ways we are already scientifically familiar with.
