Reviews
Striking an excellent balance between visual appeal and content, this book provides foundational do's and don'ts of animal rescue. Using the Toronto Wildlife Center as her point of reference, Coey introduces readers to the concept of animal rehabilitation and offers examples of it at work, highlighting call centers and the process by which sick, injured, or orphaned animals are admitted into rehab centers. Next, readers learn the importance of individualized care, which is shown through customized enclosures and feeding methods. Also stressed is limiting human contact when helping patients return to the wild. The final two chapters look at dangerous scenarios that require trained wildlife rescuers--often due to human-made disasters, such as oil spills. While cute pictures prevail, there are also photos of urban animals injured by garbage... Appropriate cautions are issued about interacting with wildlife, as are tips for getting involved... Well-rounded and informative., This informative book examines the work of the Toronto Wildlife Center and offers suggestions about saving urban wildlife. Using examples of cases handled by the Center, Coey efficiently details how animals are rescued, describes the rehabilitation operations, and stresses the importance of releasing animals back into their natural environments. Throughout, she emphasizes ways humans should and should not interact with urban wildlife. The writing style is direct and accessible. Sidebars add extra detail.

Readers learn about the wild animals that they may encounter and get tips on how to protect and support urban wildlife., Based on work at the Toronto Wildlife Centre, this is the story of how wildlife that lives in urban areas can be injured, treated, rehabilitated, and, in some cases, released back to the wild. The book includes stories of actual animals and what happened to them, as well as step-by-step photos of some of the treatments. Readers learn how staff examine and treat both a skunk with seven dessert cups tightly lodged around its head and a red-tailed hawk with a shoulder fracture. They will be fascinated by the rescue of a common loon trapped in a small pond and how rescuers clean a mute swan family covered with oil. The text includes important information about how to prevent problems with wildlife, as well as what to do if you find an injured animal. Sidebars provide information about treacherous trash and killer cats. There's also a career profile about a day in the life of a wildlife veterinarian and tips on how readers can get involved with animals. The title is recommended as a way to increase general understanding of urban wildlife and help people of all ages modify their behaviours in ways that can prevent attracting and harming them.

As urban areas expand, they impinge on the natural habitats of animals that would not otherwise find themselves in an urban setting, including birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians, as well as rare, threatened and even endangered wildlife. Animal Hospital describes how injured and orphaned wild animals are rehabilitated and cared for after being rescued from perilous situations. It follows the activities of an urban animal rescue facility and the efforts of the trained professionals that rescue, treat, rehabilitate and release the animals. Kids will learn about the amazing wild animals that they may encounter in their neighborhoods, even the most recognizable have fascinating traits. They will get tips on how to protect and support urban wildlife, and learn what to do if they encounter an animal that needs help. There are exciting real-life stories about rescued animals with photographs that give readers an up-close look. While including animals in North America, Animal Hospital also describes international efforts that encourage conservation and awareness. This is a valuable title in the classroom and an exciting and inspiring choice for any youngster.

- a***o (49)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaItem is as described in post, great quality, clean, not damaged, great purchase. I'd like to point out that it was also shipped promptly, arrived on time, but the local post office refused to send me any notification of it arriving. Therefore I only got it today, almost a month late. The seller is at no fault, they shipped it on time. So I am highly satisfied with my purchase and the seller, highly recommend them for anyone on Ebay. Great books at great prices, amazing experience.
