| 0:16.5 | Obviously, a five-star review would be great and we've had a few good reviews, reviews recently and |
| 0:23.7 | many thank you for those and a few emails as well. It definitely makes Brian and myself very pleased. |
| 0:29.7 | So today we're going to talk to Dr. Joe Hedley, who is one of our lecturers here in exotic animals. |
