In the market for a house and an adventure  Benjamin Mee moved his family to an unlikely new home: a dilapidated zoo in the English countryside. Mee had a dream to refurbish the zoo and run it as a family business. His friends and colleagues thought he was crazy.  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.  Nothing was easy  given the familys 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. We Bought a Zoo is a profoundly moving portrait of an unforgettable family living in the most extraordinary circumstances.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67929531121717,"sku":"ByrdShop_0385666217","price":88.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780385666213.jpg?v=1794196763","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/we-bought-a-zoo-9780385666213","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
