«El elefante estreñido» is Manuel López's book of anecdotes, published by Temas de Hoy in paperback (230 pages, in Spanish).
Manuel López, a veterinarian and technical director of three zoos, including Madrid's, recalls real encounters with remarkable animals: a cheetah taken for rides in an electric pram, a gourmet wild boar that demanded macaroni with tomato and roast chicken, and a dolphin rescued from the Guadalquivir. An anecdotal collection with humour and rigorous facts about wildlife.
The work's subtitle is «Y otras historias de un veterinario en el zoo»; published in 2000, this is the third edition and includes illustrations by Carlos Sánchez.
Pleasant, lively reading, suitable for animal lovers and for a children's or young adult audience.
