"Six years ago Joe Hollins became the first permanent vet on the island of St
Helena, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Here he looked after the oldest
known land animal in the world, a 184-year-old giant tortoise - while at the
same time seeing the island enter the modern world with the construction of its
first airport."
Fascinating in multiple dimensions - for animal lovers, history buffs and
nautical and aviation fans alike. Via Flayrah.
