The heart-wrenching and adventure-filled stories of a South African
wild animal vet and his colleagues When do you watch a wild animal
suffer and let nature take its course, and when do you intervene?
In his more than twenty-five years as an African vet, Dr. Roy
Aronson has seen and done some remarkable things. He has tracked
lions and cheetahs, anesthetized rhinoceroses and king cobras,
collared rogue elephants, performed eye surgery on a lion out in
the bush, been attacked by a puff adder, come face to face with an
angry hybrid wolf, and nearly lost a foot to a crocodile. Dr.
Aronson has also worked with some of Africa's most dedicated
conservationists and wildlife veterinarians. He has witnessed their
passion and bravery and been with them when hard decisions had to
be made. "Tales of an African Vet" brings together Dr. Aronson's
adventures in a rare behind-the-scenes look at those who treat wild
animals in their natural habitat. For those drawn to outdoor
adventure stories, African wildlife, or the veterinarian's trade,
it is a riveting book replete with rich insights into both the
animal and human cultures of Africa.
