Talking about his new book “Mystery Tusk: Searching for Elephants in the Maine Woods.” The story begins with the search for a mysterious tusk that seems to have two conflicting histories: one ancient and one modern. Gary’s search for the truth led him into the woods of northern Maine as he uncovered the truth behind this amazing find. Gary has created beautiful and informative illustrations to accompany the story and we will be having conversations about his work both as a curator and illustrator and this amazing story.

Talking about the notion that the natural sciences are concerned with the physical, and measurable. Art, on the other hand, is thought to deal mostly with human feelings, ideas, and making connections. However, wildlife rehabilitation is not so simple. It effectively combines aspects of veterinary medicine, animal husbandry, animal behavior, intuition, and the ability to see things on a larger scale. The key to rehabilitating wildlife isn’t curing disease or raising healthy orphans. The key is the reintroduction of an animal back into the environment. This necessitates a deeper understanding of the interconnections between individuals and species. Our guest combines beautifully the two domains as she creates caring and realistic recovery for animals found in the wild.
