A Rescue Expedition in Madagascar Once thought to be extinct, the Aye-aye, one of the world's strangest creatures, is now only found in small colonies. Gerald Durrell's task was to capture some for breeding at the famous Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust. Although on a series scientific expedition, Durrell describes his adventures with his own inimitable humour, nothing escaping his sharp eye and talented pen.
In typically compelling fashion, he mixes anecdotes of great wit with observations on the survival of the world's natural heritage, giving the numerous rare and appealing animals he finds their usual star status.
