Gerald Durrel: the Friend of All Animals

Gerald Durrell, a popular British writer and the author of brilliant books about animals, was born in India in 1925. His mother often joked that his first word was “zoo”. When he was three years old, his family moved to England, then to the Greek island of Corfu — to get away from the terrible English weather. With his mother, his sister Margo, and his brothers, Leslie and Larry, Gerald spent five years on the island. That was the start of his long career as an animal expert.

They lived in an old villa. One day Gerald found a big scorpion on the garden wall. The scorpion had lots of light brown babies on her back. He put them into a matchbox and hurried home. It was time for lunch, so Gerald put the matchbox on the shelf. He began his meal, and forgot about his new pets. He suddenly remembered about them when he heard a noise from the sitting room. He ran there and saw his brother Larry with an open matchbox in his hand. And the scorpions were free!

Larry shouted “Help!”, the Durrels’ dog went wild and the servant dropped a plate. The scorpion and her babies ran all over the room. Gerald had to catch them with a teaspoon, and put them back in the garden wall.

In 1939, the Durrels moved back to London because of the war. At the end of the war Gerald got a job in Whipsnade Zoo where he started looking after the lions and other animals.

On his 21st birthday Gerald decided to go on expeditions to collect wild animals for British zoos.

Back home in England he kept a lot of animals — monkeys, squirrels, frogs and others — in his sister’s garden. Gerald’s brother Larry asked him to write about his journeys and voyages to different places. This is how Gerald Durrell became a famous writer. The title of one of his most famous books is “My Family and Other Animals”.
