Here Gerald Durrell tells of an expedition to Sierra Leone to catch himself a colobus, and another to Mexico in quest of a Volcano rabbit and a Thick-billed parrot. His saga, as always, is compounded of hilarious mishaps and unexpected triumphs. Through his pages troop the strange and exotic creatures which fill his life: the Sealed anteater - an animated fir cone with a tail; the unreasonably vegetarian White-crested hornbill; the teddy-bear-like Potto. C3E. Very Good/Very Good.
