As a young boy, living in South Africa with its magnificent wild life, I always wanted to become a vet to be able to make animals and science my day to day life. I found it intriguing as to know, or rather to catch a glimpse of how our Creator put life together and to see this in nature all around us. I loved to go to wildlife parks such as the Kruger National Park on game drives and to be amazed. Back home our family always kept a wide range of pets, from cats and dogs to geese, ducks, a crow to tortoises, chameleons, hedgehogs, fish and a monkey.
