From the man who redefined how we see ourselves as a species comes Animal Days, the candid and captivating autobiography of Desmond Morris — zoologist, surrealist painter, and author of the landmark work The Naked Ape. Spanning his childhood fascination with nature through his groundbreaking career as a biologist, television presenter, and curator at London Zoo, this memoir chronicles a life lived in extraordinary proximity to the animal world, offering an intimate portrait of a scientist driven by insatiable curiosity. Morris writes with the same disarming wit and observational precision that made The Naked Ape a global phenomenon, turning personal anecdote into a wider meditation on the relationship between humans and the creatures with whom they share the planet. Animal Days is as much a document of a changing scientific culture — the post-war era of popular biology, the rise of ethology, and the public appetite for natural history — as it is a personal story. For anyone who has ever wondered what compels a man to devote his life to understanding animal behaviour, this memoir delivers a frank and often surprising answer.
