World Wild Vet: Encounters in the Animal Kingdom | Evan Antin
5 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
From Evan Antin, Americas most popular veterinarian, comes a wild look at our natural world. Perfect for fans of Steve Irwin, James Herriot, and Bear Grylls Star of Animal Planets Evan Goes Wild and People magazines Pet Vet, Dr. Evan Antin takes readers beyond his viral Instagram posts right into the wild world with him. World Wild Vet is an up close and personal look at planet earth, in all its wild glory. But beyond the laugh-out-loud stories and dangerous encounters with some of our planets most exotic creatures, it is a clarion call to protect our delicate environment. Millions follow Dr. Evan Antin and his wildlife adventures through social media, and on his popular Animal Planet television show Evan Goes Wild. Now in his first book, World Wild Vet, Evan takes us from the depths of the ocean swimming with sharks, to jungles filled with venomous snakes, and rivers full of crocodiles all in the name of adventure and a deep love for the wild around us. Part memoir, travelogue, and conservation guide book, World Wild Vet is an unforgettable exploration of the world we all call home, and a love letter to the creatures we share it with.

Listened to this one on audio. I was sad when it came to an end. Fascinating stories and the author has a wonderful speaking voice. If you like exotic species and locations, this book may be right up your alley!

I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new - don‘t judge me I have a lot of books.
Join the fun if you want. This is day 217.

This book was a great way to do some armchair traveling & learn about some animals through this veterinarian's experiences. Dr. Evan Antin may look familiar, not just because he looks like Superman, but because he is active on social media, with a goal of educating people about animals and how to help ensure the safety of them and their environments. As a student then a vet, Antin shares some stories from his travels, most of which is through⬇️

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick volunteering with rescues & conservation organizations. He is careful to be a good world citizen by adapting to the local culture and teaching locals about the native animals in hopes that education will help protect the lives of animals, many of which are endangered. He isn't the most animated narrator I've listened to, but his passion still comes through as he tells about a variety of animals including whale sharks, rhinos, and binturongs.⬇️ 3y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @Pageturner1 @Tera66 @4thhouseontheleft @Cinfhen I feel obligated to point out that, like any good memoir, there are a few pictures inside, too! 🤩 3y
Megabooks @Cinfhen I‘m usually not one for reading about other vets, but this sounds interesting! 3y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @Megabooks If you read it, I'll be curious to hear your thoughts. He isn't going into detail about surgeries on domestic pets, so that's a plus. It felt more like a passionate conservationist's travels than medical diary. 3y

I admit I had no idea who Evan Antin was when I requested this ARC. I just really enjoy a good animal memoir and luckily this was precisely that. I had a great time trekking the globe with Antin as he seeks out experiences with animals both before and after becoming a vet. I might choose to pick up fewer venomous snakes (and by fewer I mean none) but I appreciated his enthusiasm for the task. An easy book to dip in and out but remain engaged.
