520 "In 1954, David Attenborough, a young television presenter,
was offered the opportunity of a lifetime--to travel the
world finding rare and elusive animals for the London
Zoo's collection, and to film the expedition for the BBC
for a new show called Zoo Quest. This is the story of
those voyages. Staying with local tribes while trekking in
search of giant anteaters in Guyana, Komodo dragons in
Indonesia, and armadillos in Paraguay, he and the rest of
the team contended with cannibal fish, aggressive tree
porcupines, and escape-artist wild pigs, as well as
treacherous terrain and unpredictable weather, to record
the incredible beauty and biodiversity of these regions.
Written with his trademark wit and charm, Adventures of a
Young Naturalist is not just the story of a remarkable
adventure, but of the man who made us fall in love with
the natural world and taught us the importance of
protecting it--and who is still doing so today"--
