Wild Times: Tales from the Suburban Safari

By Tim Harrison

Book Overview

Tim Harrison has been called to remove bears from apartments, lions from city streets, and cougars from backyards. He has raised a Bengal tiger and has mothered wolves. Yet Wild Times, a collection of his wildest suburban safaris, wasn't written to compete with reality TV. Tim's goal is to let people know of the growing chance that they'll be coming across an exotic or local wild animal as their population increases in suburbs across the country. His popular speaking programs are legendary. Finally, he's wrestled his stories between the covers of a book.

Recommended reading for animal rights activists

Written by an experienced animal control handler of exotic wildlife Tim Harrison, Wild Times: Tales From Suburban Safaris is an amazing collection of true life anecdotes and candidly personal stories. From rescuing alligators, to rehabilitating birds of prey, to dealing with lions in city streets, and more, Wild Times is the fascinating true chronicle of a man with a unique love of wildlife, and is charged with the sometime difficult duty of protecting both humans and wild animals from one another. Wild Times is very entertaining and especially recommended reading for animal rights activists and wildlife enthusiasts.

The Next Jack Hanna

This guy and his stories are great! He's a firefighter, policeman, paramedic who, for the last twenty years, has been called to remove bears from apartments, lions from city streets, pythons from worksops, and cougers from backyards. He has met, and rescued, alligators from local rivers and farm ponds, pet stores and basements. His wildest captures are in this book. But his goal is to let people know of the growing chance that they'll be coming across an exotic, wild animal as their population increases in suburbs across the country, and to discourage people from buying and keeping this animals as pets!Excellent (lifesaving) snakebite protocol in the back of the book. Great stories for all ages.
