Question

2. 'However, the experience proved invaluable.' Which
experience is the author talking about? Why was it
invaluable?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The chapter ‘The Emergence Of Zoo’ is an excerpt from the foreword to The Ark’s Anniversary. In this, Gerald Durrell describes how he realized his dream of a perfect zoo. In one of my previous posts, I have also shared the Lochinvar Stanza-Wise Summary so, you can check that post as well.

Answer 2

Answer:

During the author’s short-lived career as an animal collector, he had wide schooling in keeping of animals in the tropics, their illnesses and their quirks (peculiar behavior). This taught him that maintaining zoos were not all that easy what he thought to be. So, this whole experience was invaluable to him.
