By the 1970s it still had many unique but seriously endangered species. To rescue some of these creatures from extinction, Gerald Durrell spent uncomfortable nights in the jungle looking for bats and pink pigeons, climbed near-vertical rock faces to find Telfair's skinks and Gunther's geckos, and spent his spare time among the coral reefs with their varied multicoloured marine life. By the end of his trip, Durrell had an extraordinary collection of animals to take to his Jersey sanctuary from where the progeny could, in time, be restored to Mauritius.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28 May 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePage count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Height 133 mm; Width 204 mm; Thickness 11 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pan Macmillan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781037404092\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gerald Durrell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50170096320762,"sku":"9781037404092","price":7.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/9781037404092.jpg?v=1787618457","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/golden-bats-and-pink-pigeons-9781037404092","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
