David Attenborough Life Stories by David Attenborough
4.0
4.5 stars
An extract of Attenborough in a cave full of bats with his crew:
“Many people”, I said, “might be afraid that theses bats would get tangled in one’s hair. But the bats have an amazing navigational system based on echo-location and there is no chance whatever of them doing that. I managed to raise a wan smile. Hugh turned off the battery light. And a bat hit me four-square in the face.”
This was an amazing book. I thoroughly enjoyed it, mostly because I was reading the book with Attenborough’s voice narrating in my head. It was truly splendid.
I have learnt a vast deal of knowledge on many different subjects David covers. He talks about snakes, extinct animals such as the dodo, tracking and birds of paradise, etc.
A light and interesting read. I would read again.
