Prompted by the country¿s radical deforestation, and slash-and-burn agriculture, Durrell, his wife, and their team of zoologists embark on a mission to capture and conserve the speciesamp;mdash;distinguished by its `giant, chisel-like teeth¿, `round, hypnotic eyes¿ and large `spoon-like ears¿. During the course of their journey, they encounter golden 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naxos Audiobooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47114195435760,"sku":"2940169256949","price":17.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169256949_p0.jpg?v=1763676879","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169256949","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
