And his time at the zoo didnP#8217;t get any less strange or entertainingP#8230;Plt;BRPgt;Plt;BRPgt;ThereP#8217;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.","brand":"Print on demand - Ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48312745984158,"sku":"UBD-9780857502605","price":34.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780857502605.jpg?v=1790069034","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780857502605","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
