Madagascar is one of the most important biodiversity hotspots in the world. More than 160 million years ago Madagascar broke away from Africa and is a living example of flora and fauna evolution in isolation; undisturbed by outside influences and human beings. Over 70% of animals and 90% of plants found in Madagascar are endemic; found nowhere else on the world. The variety is also extreme in hosting 5% of all animal and plant species known to man.
Lemurs are only found in Madagascar; long-tailed, monkey like animals with catlike faces, prominent ears and hands with seperate fingers and toes.
The indri is the largest lemur and has the strongest voice, which can travel 3km through the forest
Sifakas are good jumpers with their long back legs

Chameleons have an ability to change their colours, have eyes that swivel independently of each other on raised cones and sticky tongues that shoot out to catch prey
