WILD HEALTH explores the behavioral strategies animals use to maintain health, many of which are relevant to animal husbandry and human health care. Monkeys, bears and birds protect themselves from insect bites and fungal infections by rubbing medicinal plants and insects into their skin. Chimpanzees carefully select anti-parasitic medicines to deal with parasites. Elephants roam miles to find the clay they need to help counter dietary toxins, and birds help their chicks by lining their nests with aromatic leaves.

"A fascinating and enlightening view of how our closest relatives stay healthy. Secrets of nature deliciously told"—William B Karesh, DVM, Chair Wildlife Specialist Group, IUCN
