Fox is turning Zoobiquity into an animal medical drama
Fox is hoping to manufacture a hit by cobbling together two things people already love: medical dramas and animals. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the network is adapting Dr. Barbara Natterson-Horowitz and Kathryn Bowers’ best-selling nonfiction book, Zoobiquity. The show will follow a group of doctors who treat patients by searching for correlations in the animal kingdom. For instance, in the book, cardiologist Natterson-Horowitz studied the innovative ways veterinarians treat Emperor tamarin monkeys suffering from cardiac arrest and applied that knowledge to her human patients.
