Mee had a dream to refurbish the zoo and run it as  a family business. His friends and colleagues thought he was crazy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But in 2006,  Mee and his wife with their two children, his brother, and his 76-year-old mother  moved into the Dartmoor Wildlife Park. Their extended family now included: Solomon,  an African lion and scourge of the local golf course; Zak, the rickety Alpha wolf,  a broadly benevolent dictator clinging to power; Ronnie, a Brazilian tapir, easily  capable of killing a man, but hopelessly soppy; and Sovereign, a jaguar and would-be  ninja, who has devised a long term escape plan and implemented it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Nothing was easy,  given the family’s lack of experience as zookeepers, and what follows is a magical  exploration of the mysteries of the animal kingdom, the power of family, and the  triumph of hope over tragedy. \u003ci\u003eWe Bought a Zoo\u003c\/i\u003e is a profoundly moving portrait of  an unforgettable family living in the most extraordinary circumstances.","brand":"Benjamin Mee","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":56921242206368,"sku":"9780385666220","price":10.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8637\/5072\/files\/BNCImageAPI_ff322334-a96a-4bd2-82fa-0ed5e85c5985.jpg?v=1776025719","url":"https:\/\/rivendell-books.com\/products\/9780385666220","provider":"Rivendell Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
