Naturalist Redmond O'Hanlon and poet James Fenton navigate treacherous jungle rivers in search of the elusive Bornean rhinoceros.

In 1983, British naturalist Redmond O'Hanlon persuaded poet James Fenton to embark on a two-month expedition into the uncharted interior of Borneo. Poling dugout canoes up rapids alongside Iban guides, the duo traveled deep into the jungle in search of rare wildlife, including the near-mythical Bornean rhino.

O'Hanlon combines rigorous natural history observations with self-deprecating humor as the travelers battle parasitic leeches, venomous snakes, deadly river currents, and tropical fevers while learning traditional Iban jungle lore.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Redmond O'Hanlon balances scholarly natural science, witty British travel humor, and genuine jungle adventure. A classic 1987 Vintage paperback travelogue for readers of Paul Theroux, Bill Bryson, and tropical exploration classics.
