Taylor worked with zoo and wild animals from 1957, acting as a consultant on the treatment of some of the rarest species on Earth. He was world-renowned as an expert in marine mammal medicine.

In the mid-1970s and early 1980s, Taylor wrote a popular series of autobiographical books that charted his life and experiences as a "Zoo Vet". These books were adapted for Television in a drama series, One by One. He continued to be a prolific writer until his death. [wikipedia]

I love to look through this when I am feeling stressed out! There's just something calming to me-trained as a librarian!-about a taxonomy of beloved animals.
[Joe Biden should get a copy. Here's hoping Commodore finds the right home-strict training plus lots of love and exercise, and the Bidens choose a more appropriate dog: Westie? Sheltie? King Charles spaniel?-if they go another round.]
DK Eyewitness Guides are the best!
