Al Haines "Trapping Wild Animals in Malay Jungles" by Charles Mayer is a memoir documenting the author's experiences as a wild animal collector, written in the early 20th century. The narrative is set against the backdrop of Mayer's early fascination with circus life, which leads him on adventures in the Malay jungles. The book explores themes of animal capturing, the challenges of navigating local cultures, and the unique environments of the jungle. The opening of the memoir introduces readers to Mayer's journey from his youth working in the circus to his aspiration of capturing wild animals. Fueled by the allure of the circus and a desire to learn about animals, Mayer eventually embarks for Singapore, where he seeks out the notorious animal dealer Mahommed Ariff. The narrative describes various interactions with the local people, highlighting cultural nuances and the complexities involved in establishing trust. In particular, Mayer recounts a gripping episode where he attempts to capture a giant python, leading to a fatal incident involving a native. This establishes the perilous environment of the jungle, while Mayer's character is shaped through these vivid experiences, setting the stage for further adventures in animal trapping and exploration.
