LUNCH TIME!
ANIMALS OF MAdAgASCAr
Madagascar is an island off the coast of Africa. Scientists think it broke off from
the African continent about 160 million years ago. It is about the size of Texas
and is the fourth largest island in the world.
WHy IS IT SpecIAL?
Many new species of animals and insects have evolved on Madagascar because
it has been isolated from the rest of Africa for so long. About 80% of the animals
found in Madagascar do not exist anywhere else on earth. Since more than 90%
of their natural habitat has been destroyed, many are endangered.

These tree-hopping, furry creatures are primates, just like
monkeys, apes and humans. More than 30 different species of
lemurs, including the pygmy Mouse Lemur, Hairy-eared Dwarf
Mouse Lemur and Aye-Ayes, live in Madagascar. They can travel
up to 25 feet in one leap! Because of their declining numbers, the
International union for conservation of Nature (IucN) considers
lemurs to be the world’s most endangered mammals, noting that—
as of 2013—up to 90% of all lemur species face extinction within
the next 20 to 25 years.
cHAMeLeoNS
Almost half of the world’s chameleons (about 60 different species)
are found only in Madagascar. Known for their ability to change
color, these reptiles vary their appearance in response to changes
in temperature, light and mood. chameleons can see to all sides,
without moving their heads, by rotating each eye independently.

Tenrecs were possibly the first mammals to arrive on the island of
Madagascar. When scared, they curl up in a ball and extend spiky
hairs to protect themselves from predators, very much like
a hedgehog. Most species are nocturnal and have poor eyesight.
Their other senses are well developed, however, and they have
especially sensitive whiskers.
FoSSA
The fossa is Madagascar’s largest predator – with a cat-like body
and a dog-like nose. It is often said to resemble a small cougar.
This endangered animal is a close cousin of the mongoose. About
twice the size of a house cat, the fossa primarily hunts lemurs and
birds. It has a long tail which helps keep its balance when high up in
the trees. The greatest threat to this animal is habitat destruction.
