Wildlife veterinarian and super-fashionista Dr. Gabby Wild takes young
readers on a journey around the world to discover amazing animals and
how to care for them.
Travel the continents to meet some of Earth's most incredible critters
through the eyes of a windblown, adventurous wildlife veterinarian. Join
Dr. Gabby Wild as she performs dental work on a jaguar, teaches a baby
bird to fend for itself, and gives a chimp a checkup. Learn about animal
anatomy and behaviors, diets, families, and the dangers they face in the
wild. Get up close--and we do mean CLOSE--to more than 80 animals that
are both familiar and not so familiar, including regal lions, playful
pandas, fearsome Gila monters, and creepy tarantulas. Examine world maps
to learn about amphibians, wild cats, and primates across the globe.
Read about some special human-animal relationships as well as challenges
that arise when they share a habitat. Then learn how people are working
to save and protect endangered species. And for your final thrill, find
out how YOU can become a wildlife vet, too!
