And his time at the zoo didn’t get any less strange or entertaining…\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\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 Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47167553044720,"sku":"9781473510074","price":17.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781473510074_p0.jpg?v=1763602029","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781473510074","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
