What is Some of My Best Friends Are Animals about?
In this delightful collection of animal tales Terry Murphy provides a witty and candid account of his life as Director of one of the world's oldest and finest zoos. With a wealth of animal anecdotes that are hilariously funny, sad, touching, ridiculous and always entertaining, Terry Murphy takes us behind the scenes to the magical world of life in a zoo. He describes rearing baby creatures that are weak or neglected; handling dangerous animals when they are sick or giving birth; the chaos of sharing his home with everything from a clumsy kangaroo to an armful of tiger cubs; the joy of successfully breeding species that are almost extinct; and the problems of retrieving animals when they escape - including a massive elephant seal and a whole colony of spritely monkeys.
