"The Zimbabwe Course on Wildlife Capture is unique, in the African context, both in the length of its existence (over 30 years) and the very considerable experience of its diverse and dedicated lecturers. Their course notes have now been gathered and concisely edited into this excellent, practical and illustrated manual, not omitting the theory behind the use of drugs and physical capture. Those entering the field and those who have been in the wildlife capture game for many years will all benefit from this delightful guide on how the experts operate."
Chris Foggin BVSc, DPhil, MRCVS
Head of the Wildlife Veterinary Unit
Zimbabwe Division of Livestock and Veterinary Services"Chemical and Physical Restraint of Wild Animals is a treasure trove of wildlife capture information, hard won experience, drug dosages and techniques that work in the field, and very useful training tool indeed. It is excellently photographed and illustrated, an so visual it is almost tactile. It contains a uniquely African perspective and focus not to be found in any other book on this subject - a "must" for all wildlife and zoo vets, and wildlife professionals who work on African species."
