But in more sober company, he would go for a sloth, which hangs upside-down all day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sloth is Sir David's first essay in this collection of his own personal insight into the natural world around us. He also talks about his first ever pet, a salamander, and his favourite animal - the bird of paradise, as well as living fossils, flying dinosaurs, dragons and the strange antics of the duck-billed platypus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is Sir David looking at the wildlife that has captured his imagination and enthusiasm over his distinguished career in TV, then wildlife TV. It is a fascinating trip around the world in search of extraordinary plants and animals, in the company of this wonderful communicator.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sir David Attenborough","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":49096104182003,"sku":"8880002981956","price":16.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/files\/9780007338832.jpg?v=1779221055","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/life-stories-sir-david-attenborough-9780007338832","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
