This is the story of a scientific mission to Mauritius to collect endangered animals for a captive breeding project. The writing style is accessible and humorous and I learned something about Mauritius which I had never read about before. Published in 1977, however, the book seemed dated. I kept wondering what the current state of the species is and whether the captive breeding program was successful. A thorough epilogue would have been a great addition to newer editions of the book.
