In Los Angeles, three veterinarians from Mexico, Guatemala and Puerto Rico were brought together to solve complex cases, educate the public on animal safety, and demonstrate the value of human-animal relationships. "Doctor Vet: Los Angeles," which airs on the Spanish-language channel Nat Geo Mundo, broadcasts the challenges of caring for dogs, cats and more exotic animals, such as lions and snakes, and the emotion, skill, creativity and sensitivity involved when operating on animals.
As we say goodbye to 2013, we should also take a moment to say goodbye to those crazy animals that shocked, impressed, grossed out and even saddened us this year. A year without strange animal stories is a year that we don't want to remember, so raise your paws and cheer to the top animal stories of 2013.
