Anneke shares her intriguing journey that began in 2015 with snake handling and antivenom production, leading to her deep involvement in wildlife rehab.

Learn about the complex social structures of mongooses, their family dynamics, and the challenges faced in rehabilitating and reintegrating these spirited animals into the wild.
Anneke also delves into the ethical considerations of wildlife rehabilitation, highlighting the importance of not domesticating wild animals and the critical role of releasing them in groups to ensure their survival.
