Description

Madagascar, in the Indian Ocean off the south-eastern coast of Africa, is the fourth largest islands in the world, and home to five per cent of the world’s plant and animal species, including giant jumping rats, flat-tailed tortoises and gentle lemurs. Ninety per cent of its flora and fauna are found nowhere else.
Creatures like the aye-aye were in danger of vanishing, however, as the forests which are the life-blood of the island were being destroyed by ‘slash and burn’ agriculture. And so Gerald Durrell decided to undertake a rescue mission to bring the aye-aye back to his breeding centre in Jersey. This is the tale of hunt for the aye-aye, and the adventures he had along the way.
