En Atrápame ese mono, Gerald Durrell nos presenta una colección de relatos ocurridos en el Zoo de Jersey a lo largo de siete años. El autor narra un viaje a Sierra Leona en busca de leopardos y colobos, el complicado parto de una leona, los esfuerzos por lograr la reproducción en cautividad de una pareja de faisanes de cuello blanco y la búsqueda en México del teporingo o conejo de los volcanes. Este entretenido volumen concluye con una defensa del equilibrio biológico y de las especies en peligro de extinción.
Gerald Malcolm Durrell was a British naturalist, writer, zookeeper, conservationist, and television presenter. He was born in Jamshedpur in British India, and moved to England when his father died in 1928. In 1935 the family moved to Corfu, and stayed there for four years, before the outbreak of World War II forced them to return to the UK. In 1946 he received an inheritance from his father's will that he used to fund animal-collecting trips to the British Cameroons and British Guiana. He married Jacquie Rasen in 1951; they had very little money, and she persuaded him to write an account of his first trip to the Cameroons. The result, titled The Overloaded Ark, sold well, and he began writing accounts of his other trips. An expedition to Argentina and Paraguay followed in 1953, and three years later he published My Family and Other Animals, which became a bestseller.
