Larger than France or Kenya and more than 1,600 kilometres from north to south, the mixed topography of Madagascar gives rise to its astonishing biological diversity and remarkable scenery. Its 5,000 kilometres of coastline is made up of mangrove reserves, stunning white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, uninhabited land and coral reef. Madagascar has indeed been geographically blessed.

Madagascar iguanids present a bit of a conundrum. There have been no fossil remains of iguanids found in Africa, Asia or Australia, just Central and South America. How, then, did lizards meeting the taxonomic criteria of iguanids turn up alive and well in Fiji (Brachylophus) and Madagascar (Oplurus, Chalarodon)?

-An entire family of plants, the Didiereaceae is unique to Madagascar. Didiereaceae plants are found in the arid southwest and closely resemble some forms of cacti. Unlike catci though, they produce small deciduous leaves which are protected by meanacing thorns and spines that grow directly out of the plant's many branches.
