"We are very excited to have her here," says Susan Harris, the docent volunteer coordinator for the Little Rock Zoo. The time Milligan spent learning to be a guide for visitors of the zoo comes about because of Milligan's belief in spreading the word about conservation. Lol."Īdding to her work with turtles and her efforts on YouTube, Milligan recently signed on to be a docent for the Little Rock Zoo. Great review!! Now how do I explain to my husband that we need geese. A comment posted to the video remarked, "I always wanted to know what they tasted like.
One video called "Goose Eggs for Breakfast" shows Milligan cooking up a giant egg from one of the geese on her farm. The videos have clearly struck a chord with the small but devoted number of subscribers. Beth the Turtle Woman, where she describes herself as "Physician, Musician, Animal Lover and turtle rescuer." The numerous videos posted cover Milligan's life and various happenings on her farm, called Area 51. To say that Milligan is an active advocate for turtle rescue and other animal conservation concerns is an understatement. "I enjoy rescuing animals," Milligan says. Even with her medical practice in North Little Rock, Milligan can get calls from all over the state when somebody needs her help with a turtle. Milligan gets many calls about turtles that have been hit by cars or damaged in other ways because she is a certified wildlife rehabilitator with a permit from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. For Milligan, it could be that she gets a phone call about a turtle that needs help. When Beth Milligan transforms from an anything-but-mild mannered primary care physician to super rescuer of turtles and protector of animals, she doesn't have to find a phone booth or even change her clothes. When mild-mannered Clark Kent would transform into superhero Superman, he would have to duck into a phone booth (back when the world had phone booths) to chuck his glasses (which was, of course, the perfect disguise) and clothes to reveal his Superman outfit complete with cape and large S on the front.
