4.0 out of 5 stars Catch me a Colubus by Gerald Durrell, 15 Nov 2005
This review is from: Catch Me a Colobus (Hardcover)
This is a great book for any animal lover. In the book, you will meet a range of different animals from rabbits of the top of volcanoes in Japan to White tailed pheasants in Europe. It is host to a great variety of births, including diasters..So if You want to read about Jersy zoo's struggle to get those animals of the endangered list, read catch me a Colubus.
I would rate this as a four star book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A witty, interesting view of a zoo keepers life., 6 Mar 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Catch Me a Colobus (Paperback)
This book is incredibily good. It is about Durrell's animal-finding expedition to Africa in search of the gorgeous Colobus monkeys. With tales of rampaging apes and interesting ways a mother animal can kill her young it can sometimes seem a bit far-fetched but Durrell makes you believe every bit of it. This is a brilliant book, if you like Bill Bryson I advise you to read this for more fun and animals.
