À propos de l?auteur
Tim Bouts began his career as a veterinary surgeon at London Zoo and Whipsnade Zoo before working at several international wildlife parks. Today, he is the Zoological Director of the Sheikh of Qatar's renowned Panda House and travels the world on special assignments. He played a key role in rescuing the critically endangered Spix's macaw from extinction, helping to establish breeding programmes and ultimately reintroducing the birds to their natural habitat in Brazil.
À propos de la quatrième de couverture
For many, working as a vet in a major zoo is the ultimate dream. For Tim Bouts, it's daily life.
As Chief Veterinary Officer, Tim Bouts has spent more than two decades tending to animals in some of the world's most renowned zoos, from London Zoo to the Sheikh of Qatar's prestigious Panda House. In this compelling book, Tim opens the doors to his extraordinary world.
His patients range from a lion battling Covid and a hippo diagnosed with tuberculosis to a tigress needing dental surgery and a gorilla in chronic distress. Some stories are heartwarming - like his first successful operation or the birth of twin pandas. Others are full of suspense: a failed antelope anesthesia, the sudden escape of two chimpanzees. And some are deeply moving, such as the euthanasia of a herpes-stricken elephant herd or the tragic loss of a walrus mother and her calf.
With empathy and candor, Tim reflects on the dilemmas and decisions in zoological medicine. He addresses ethical grey areas around euthanasia, contraception, and quarantine with a rare honesty that invites readers behind the curtain.

Vendeur : Rarewaves USA, OSWEGO, IL, Etats-Unis
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Working as a vet in a large zoo is a dream job for many-but for Tim Bouts, it's reality. As Chief Veterinary Officer, he has spent over 20 years caring for animals in world-renowned parks like London Zoo. Today, he works at the Sheikh of Qatar's 'Panda House.' In this book, he shares remarkable stories from his diverse range of patients: a lion battling Covid, a hippopotamus with tuberculosis, a tigress with dental issues, and a gorilla suffering from chronic pain. Some of his anecdotes are heartwarming, like his first successful surgery, or welcoming baby pandas to Pairi Daiza in Belgium. Others are pulse-pounding, such as the failed anesthesia of an antelope, and the escape of two chimpanzees. And some are deeply moving, like the euthanasia of a herd of herpes-stricken elephants or the heartbreaking loss of a walrus mother and her calf. Through these stories, you'll get a front-row seat to Tim's daily work and a rare glimpse into his thoughts. He doesn't shy away from sensitive topics like euthanasia, contraception in zoos, and the challenges of quarantining animals. N° de réf. du vendeur LU-9789059960633
