This is the most useful wildlife book I have found for veterinary clinical use. Contains a great deal of info on exotics that I will never see, such as great apes and rhinos. However, there is a wealth of info that is difficult to find for routine cases such as feeding volumes,calorie requirements and expected weight gains for commonly encountered species from rabbits and deer to sugar gliders. All I ever needed to find on orphaned mammals I located in this book. Lent my copy to someone who didn't return it, and HAD to buy another. An essential reference for any vet who deals with wildlife.By morristhevet
