Anaesthetising a fish, x-raying a frog and hospitalising a walrus are all in a day’s work for the world’s wildest veterinarian. Travelling from the rainforests of Sierra Leone to the jungles of Borneo, the author has caught, anaesthetised, diagnosed, operated on, medicated, and then released some of the world’s most endangered wild animals. From disease testing Polynesian snails to keyhole surgery in Sumatran orangutans; from endoscopy in sharks to ultrasound on a chimpanzee; sometimes this is high tech work, such as the first robotic surgery in a tiger, or giant panda cloning attempts.

Very technical and enjoyable. The author found the time to write this book so that we can get a glimpse into his work. The book does get quite technical in places, but everything is clear and well-explained. The author did a great job explaining the less glamorous parts of his job and opened my eyes to many aspects of environmental conservation that I wasn’t aware of. Highly recommended!
