When the Beagle arrived at the Cape Verde Islands, Charles set foot in a tropical forest for the first time. And he was amazed by the huge variety of animals and plants. He started to collect like crazy – butterflies, spiders, beetles, shells – he loved everything, even ants.
Charles also found the fossils of a rodent the size of an elephant and a horse – like creature.

At first Charles and Emma lived in London and had a busy social life – but not for long. Soon Charles found that he was getting very tired. Though only 30, from then on he was never really well again – sometimes he was too ill to work for days. It’s a mystery what this illness was.
In 1842, Charles and Emma moved to Down House in Downe on the Downs. Darwin turned the house and gardens into a research centre: he even filled a greenhouse with flesh – eating plants!
It was at Down House that Charles lived with his devoted family for 40 years.
