While most vets dedicate their careers to caring for four domestic pets. Dr Glenn Edwards from the University of Melbourne's Faculty of Veterinary Science has a different suite of patients that include some of the largest and most dangerous animals in the world. I've done surgery on Giraffes, and Elephant, Tigers, Lions, Macaw, SPIDER Monkeys, Orangutans, Seals and many others. Every animal and even the birds have similar muscles structure and bone structures and it's just a matter of adapting to the different sizes and physiology. Dr. Glenn Edwards has operated on a vast array of species with Zoos Victoria and his experience and passion for wildlife surgery is a real asset to the University of Melbourne's Faculty of Veterinary Science. Dr. Edward's work with the zoo is part of a unique partnership established between the University of Melbourne and Zoos Victoria. The partnership allows expertise in veterinary care to be shared. I think the partnership between the University of Melbourne and Melbourne Zoo is really important and it's a two-way relationship. We gain a lot from our interaction with the zoo from the point of view of exposing the students to a lot of the zoo surgery and medicine. But also obviously the zoo benefits from the point of view that we're able to provide a number of the services that we do both in the surgical field and also some of the imaging that we do with our ultrasound and x-ray equipment that we have.
