Living legend and presenter of the BBC wildlife documentary series Planet Earth, Sir David Attenborough, tells the story of his career as a broadcaster and naturalist, at the dawn of which he was given a unique opportunity - to travel the world in search of rare animals for his collection London Zoo and filming an expedition for the new BBC show Zoo Quest. This book contains stories of his first travels. Living alongside local tribes while searching for giant anteaters in Guyana, Komodo dragons in Indonesia and armadillos in Paraguay, he and the rest of the team battled man-eating river fish, aggressive porcupines and wild pigs, as well as the treacherous terrain and weather unpredictability to capture the incredible beauty and biodiversity of remote regions. Written with inimitable wit and charm, this book is not just the story of a remarkable adventure, but also the story of a man who shares with us his love of nature and advocates for it. “For a program to be successful, the expedition must have a clear goal - to find such a rare a creature that is not found in any zoo in the world, such a mysterious, outlandish, amazing creature, the search for which viewers, frozen in front of the screens, would follow from program to program.” (David Attenborough)
