Von rührenden und haarsträubenden Erlebnissen mit den ungezähmten Patienten im Zoo und in freier Wildbahn erzählen David Taylors Geschichten. Sie sind mit jenem staubtrockenen Humor geschrieben, den es in britischen Breiten offenbar rezeptfrei gibt. Ein Buch für alle, die gern ein Nilpferd in der Badewanne und drei Giraffen auf dem Balkon hätten. (Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine frühere Ausgabe.)

David Conrad Taylor, BVMS, FRCVS, FZS, was a British veterinary surgeon. He was the first veterinary surgeon to specialise in zoo and wildlife medicine. Taylor worked with zoo and wild animals from 1957, acting as a consultant on the treatment of some of the rarest species on Earth. He was world-renowned as an expert in marine mammal medicine. In the mid-1970s and early 1980s, Taylor wrote a popular series of autobiographical books that charted his life and experiences as a "Zoo Vet". These books were adapted for Television in a drama series, One by One. He continued to be a prolific writer until his death. [wikipedia]
