"These entertaining essays offer insight into a world of singular strangeness ... modern zoological medicine in short,
a field where the practitioners are as passionate as their patients are unwilling."   --Publisher's Weekly


"In settings ranging from zoos to wildlife sanctuaries and from aquariums to the open ocean, and patients that run the gamut from goldfish to Gomek, the world's largest crocodile, these stories reveal the empathy, creativity, and daring of their veterinarian authors."   --Nancy Bent / Booklist Online


"This is a delightful book. The stories, each amazingly different, are told with warmth, humor and sensitivity. They are sometimes sad, always captivating. It is a book you can dip into on a journey or read before sleep at night. Buy it and give copies to your friends."   --Dr. Jane Goodall
