33.4% of pets are made up of exotic animals such as birds, reptiles and small mammals.
Just because a veterinary school doesn’t offer an exclusively exotic animal track doesn’t mean you have no chance of working with these rare and unusual animals. You also don’t have to be a veterinarian to work with animals. There are many without a degree who have devoted everything to helping animals in need.
In More than a Zookeeper: The People Behind Exotic Animals, you’ll get an inside look into the lives of those who care for the most amazing creatures on the planet in both traditional and nontraditional ways, including:
- Paul Barton who turned his passion for music into a way of caring for Thailand’s abused elephants.
- Leanne Lauricella who manifested her love of animals into a sanctuary for sick and injured farm animals.
- Dr. Susan Kelleher and vets like her who care for every kind of animal you can imagine.
Whether you are looking to become a veterinarian or just love animals, this book will not only open your eyes to an underrepresented side of the veterinary industry, but also encourage you to not give up on your dreams.
