And his time at the zoo didn’t get any less strange or entertaining…\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere’s the time he anaesthetized, and was then chased by, a gorilla; had to capture an angry polar bear in thick fog; performed a colostomy on a python; and fitted a raven in the Tower of London with a wooden leg. And if an animal escaped (more frequently than you might think) or required urgent medical attention, he was always on hand, ready for any eventuality. With his self-deprecating humour, Oliver frequently described himself as quaking with fear, but he was also skilful, brave and, most of all, incredibly caring and kind to his animal patients.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Transworld Publishers Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":56135406223704,"sku":"9780857502605","price":18.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780857502605.jpg?v=1762359341","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/zoo-tails","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
