Get an up-close look at the work it takes to treat and save endangered species in the wild!
How do scientists and veterinarians protect endangered animals from deadly disease outbreaks when the animals can't be brought in from the wild for treatment? They get creative! Discover how these innovative and dedicated people use everything from peanut butter to darts to hidden cameras in order to treat creatures of all shapes and sizes via stories told directly from those involved. For rare and threatened animals like gorillas, bats, sunflower sea stars, Hawaiian monk seals, and Ethiopian wolves, creative inventions and wild medicine in deep jungles, high mountains, and deserted islands can be the missing puzzle pieces to save them from extinction. Content includes information on how young readers can get involved and make an impact in the effort to keep these creatures from going extinct.Autorentext
