The book Zoo Tails by Oliver Graham-Jones is an update of his 1971 book FIRST CATCH YOUR TIGER. Having read both books, FCYT is in my opinion the better. I have always said if I was ever asked to appear on Desert Island Discs, this would be the book I would take with me. Dr. Graham-Jones is still alive and lives in retirement on the south coast.

Sadly, he actually died in 2002. Find his obituary from The Independent here... Oliver Graham-Jones - Obituaries, News - The Independent

Thats such a shame. I was told last year he was still living in retirement in Eastbourne. He was a very great vet and opened up a new way of looking after the stock at Regents Park. Until OGJ came on the scene, keepers used the hospital facilities as a last resort, not wanting their charges to die under their care.
