Few people can claim to have seen the four non-human great apes in their wild habitat, but for Dr. Rick Quinn, not only has he ventured far and wide to catch a glimpse of our primate cousins, he's gone on to share them with the world, with his recent photobook Just Like Us.
Dr. Quinn was working as a veterinary ophthalmologist at the time of his first wild ape sighting. Wanting to do more for apes, he founded Docs4GreatApes, a Canadian nonprofit that emphasizes primate-specific training for budding veterinarians. Join us for this extra-special episode of Talking Apes.
