The Aye-Aye and I Audiobook (Free)

Gerald Durrell’s last reserve, The Aye-Aye and I records his last animal-collecting expedition, a trip to Madagascar in 1990, and his initiatives to save lots of the elusive and mythical lemuroid referred to as the Aye-Aye. Prompted by the country’s radical deforestation, and slash-and-burn agriculture, Durrell, his wife, and their group of zoologists go on a objective to capture and conserve the varieties – recognized by its ‘huge, chisel-like teeth’, ’round, hypnotic eye’ and large ‘spoon-like ears’. During the course of their trip, they encounter fantastic river snakes, flat-tailed tortoises, the gentle lemurs of Lac Alaotra, and the Malagasy chameleons. Durrell’s exuberant descriptions of the island, its people and ecology are among his best.
