Imagine stalking an alpha lioness in the African bush in order to perform eye surgery on her, or collaring a 6,600-pound, overly amorous elephant. Roy Aronson has done both of those pulse-quickening things, and many equally amazing others. Dr. Aronson and his wife Kate have been private practicing veterinarians in South Africa since 1984. Many of Dr. Aronson's best stories about his adventures treating African wildlife are collected in this exciting, nerve-wracking, and often heart-wrenching collection. His dedication to the animals is impressive, and his evocative prose makes you feel like you're right there with him, kneeling over a sleeping rhinoceros to remove a thorn from its foot.
