Samenvatting:

When Gerald Durrell was six he told his mother that he intended to have his own zoo. The Ark's Anniversary is the story of how he achieved his ambition – and how his dream grew into The Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust, a major world force in wildlife conservation.

Whether the author is on the trail of a bank manager or a pygmy hog, whether he is courting patrons or tracking a Gunther's gecko, Durrell’s enthusiasm remains undiminished as he brings together a wonderful collection of rare and exotic animals in order to save them from extinction.
