Gerald "Gerry" Durrell

Youngest but in many ways Louisa's most mature child. Endlessly inquisitive about animals, and vaguely interested in people. His passion for nature is the making of him but a constant worry to his mother as his conventional education suffers. He is happy to spend hours staring at beetles on a wall, goes missing for hours on epic nature trails, and turns the home into a zoo. A wry observer of his family members' foibles.
