Naturalist, writer, zookeeper, and conservationist Gerald Durrell observes in Encounters with Animals the courtships, wars and characters of a variety of creatures, from birds of paradise, to ants and anteaters, among others.
Told with his trademark charm and humour, Encounters with Animals is a uniquely entertaining exploration of some of the world's most striking landscapes and the wildlife they are home to.
"If animals, birds, and insects could speak, they would possibly award Durrell one of their Nobel prizes. His creatures are as alive as his style." -- The Times Literary Supplement
