He has tracked lions and cheetahs, anesthetized rhinoceroses and king cobras, collared rogue elephants, performed eye surgery on a lion out in the bush, been attacked by a puff adder, come face to face with an angry hybrid wolf, and nearly lost a foot to a crocodile. Dr. Aronson has also worked with some of Africa's most dedicated conservationists and wildlife veterinarians. He has witnessed their passion and bravery and been with them when hard decisions had to be made. \u003ci\u003eTales of an African Vet\u003c\/i\u003e brings together Dr. Aronson's adventures in a rare behind-the-scenes look at those who treat wild animals in their natural habitat.
