The Palombian jungle is a cornucopia of strange and mysterious animal and vegetal species. Among those, a butterfly whose female has never been captured is the object of the ambitions of many scientists – and competition causes conflicts. A situation that the Marsupilami, who hates having his nap interrupted, finds positively unacceptable … although the opportunities to play with this new treetop research lab that’s suddenly appeared might make up for the inconvenience!
For those not familiar with the character; it's Marsupilami. There.

What can I write about this book that I have not already written? Not a lot really.
It's often slap-stick fun along with visual gags and the artwork is just plain lovely and Batem is a worthy successor to Franquin. Topping it all off is the nice colouring by Cerise which makes this the perfect team and a book that any child will enjoy...or adult with a sense for humour and slap-stick.
With nothing similar coming from what is left of UK "comic" publishing these European albums show why Cinebook is the leader in the UK market.
