How do animals see the moon as it progresses through its different phases?
A fish glimpsing the new moon through rippling water might see a wriggling worm; a hungry monkey who spots the crescent moon through the branches of a tree might see a delicious, big banana; a thirsty kitten might mistake the moon's reflection for a bowl of milk.
