Today Kayla and I went on a safari at the Masoala National Park! It was only a short train ride away from our hotel in the capital. We learned so much. Did you know that ninety percent of the plants and animals found on the island of Madagascar evolved there and nowhere else? More than 70% of the lemurs species—including this sifaka—are considered endangered. Our tour guide began to discuss some physical geography. Kayla was interested in the waterways and streams of Madagascar. She begged me to take many pictures of her. I was more interested in the abundant amount of wildlife. Madagascar is home to 3% of the whole world's animal and plant life population. In addition to the lemurs and chameleons we saw, we were even lucky enough to catch a glimpse at some rare species of eagles and serpents!
