Rare Wildlife

The various national parks and protected areas scattered over Madagascar are the finest places to discover Madagascar's diverse natural fauna. Masoala National Park in the northeast is the most popular destination. It has about 900 square miles of rainforests, marshes, mangroves, and flooded woods, home to a diverse range of lemurs, geckos, frogs, and birds. The Andasibe-Mantadia National Park in the east, the sandstone landscape of Isalo National Park in the southwest, and the Amber Mountain Reserve in the northern tip are all noteworthy parks.

Apart from lemurs, Madagascar is home to a diverse range of unique species found nowhere else on the planet. In fact, 90 percent of the island's biodiversity is unique. Explore and you'll come across unique creatures like the carnivorous fossa, 346 reptile species, and over 6000 endemic plant and tree species.

There are numerous unique creatures on Madagascar, but only a handful are dangerous to humans. There are almost no large predatory snakes or other very hazardous species on the island. Some species, such as the Malagasy tree boa, may appear to be dangerous, yet they are not. However, there are a few you should be aware of. However, the destruction of the natural ecosystem, which leaves the island's non-human residents highly vulnerable, is one of the most serious dangers to the amazing fauna. Deforestation, fires, erosion, and alien species are only a few of the major causes.
