Synopsis

Jack Throp has pursued a life-long career of working with wild animals, birds, and to some extent, reptiles. He is a retired Zoo Director and lives in Birmingham, Alabama where he still follows his interest as an ardent volunteer in the Birmingham Zoo. His years of work with animals, along with his knack for observing both animals and people, has supplied him with a rich assortment of amusing, entertaining and enlightening stories. ********************************** "For animal lovers such as myself, it's always fun to learn about the behind-the-scenes life at various zoos, and in Not-So-Wild Animals I Have Known, retired Zoo Director Jack Throp serves up a delicious dish of Tasmanian Devils, koalas, camels, cheetahs, and some very odd wombats. Reading about the antics of these animals is a real treat, especially when Throp takes us nose-close to the action." -- Betty Webb, author of THE ANTEATER OF DEATH and DESERT CUT: A LENA JONES MYSTERY "Jack Throp's Not-So-Wild Animals I Have Known will forever change our views on camels, koalas and other interesting zoo animals. Throp provides a fresh perspective on the role humans have played in changing the unique behaviors of zoo animals. Warning: reading this book may inspire you to visit your local zoo!" -- Dr. Jodi Sexton, veterinarian
