If you want to know how to make friends with an ant-eater, an electric eel, or a porcupine or a boa-constrictor, The New Noah is your book.
Gerald Durrell goes around the world looking for wild animals, taking his natural curiosity, interest and affection along with him on these expeditions. In dealing with their antics and quirks, Durrell discovers how to feed and train them and prepare them for the zoos to which they are destined.
This is a fascinating book, where the reader is introduced to a variety of charming and curious animals such as capybaras, hoatzins, and tucotucos, not to mention a tame curassow called Cuthbert.
Gerald Durrell was one of Britain's best loved authors and pioneering naturalists. His books, such as the bestselling My Family and Other Animals which celebrated its 60th Anniversary in 2016, continue to entertain generations of children and adults alike. His early family life forms the basis for the ITV drama The Durrells. The Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust is an international conservation charity with headquarters in Jersey, UK.
