When a bear breaks into a home, or a raccoon causes a power outage, who you gonna call? Mary Roach and her team of wildlife experts. In "Fuzz," Roach dives headfirst into the murky overlap between humans and animals, investigating the hilarious, hair-raising, and heartbreaking crimes committed by our furry friends. From elephants rampaging through Indian villages to rattlesnakes slithering into Californian suburbs, Roach uncovers the surprising science and social realities behind animal "wrongdoings." With her signature blend of humor, curiosity, and compassion, she asks: how can we coexist more peacefully with the other creatures that share our world?
