Safety. Status. Sex. Self-reliance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo bring these challenges to life, the authors analyzed GPS and radio collar data from four wild adolescent animals. Will a predator-na ve penguin become easy prey? Can a low-born hyena socialize his way to a better life? Did a young humpback choose the right mate? Will a newly independent grey wolf starve, or will he become self-reliant? The result is a game-changing perspective on anxiety, risky behavior, sexual first times, and leaving home that can help teenagers and young adults coming of age in a rapidly changing world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs they discover that \"adolescence isn't just for humans\" through \"rollicking tales of young animals navigating risk, social hierarchy, and sex with all the bravura (and dopiness) of our own teenage beasts\" (\u003ci\u003ePeople\u003c\/i\u003e), readers will learn that in fact, this volatile and vulnerable phase of life creates the basis of adult confidence, success, and even happiness. This is an invaluable guide for parents, teenagers, and anyone who cares about adolescence, who will find \"the similarities between animal and human teenagers uncanny, and the lessons they have to learn remarkably similar\" (\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBarbara Natterson-Horowitz, MD, is a Visiting Professor at Harvard University in the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology.
