Mammals of Madagascar Part 1
Hi people,
In the summer of 2023 I went on a birdwatching trip of five weeks, chasing as many mammals as I could! I got to a whopping 77 species of mammals, of which most were also caught on film. I will upload one video per week. Here is part 1 (of 4):
Species depicted in part 1:
Mauritius (Botanical Gardens): Greater Mascarene Flying Fox
Rodrigues, Solitude Forest Station: Rodrigues Flying Fox
Madagascar:
Montagne d’Ambre National Park: Sanford’s Brown Lemur, Crowned Lemur, Fossa, Montagne d’Ambre Fork-marked Lemur, Montagne d’Ambre Mouse Lemur.
Andrafiamena: Ankarana Sportive Lemur, Perrier’s Sifaka, Crowned Lemur, Rock-dwelling Sheath-tailed Bat, Madagascar Sheath-tailed Bat, Aellen’s Long-fingered Bat (?), Griveaud’s Long-fingered Bat (?), Glenn’s Long-fingered Bat (?).
Ankarana National Park: Madagascar Rousette, Madagascan Fruit Bat.
Daraina (part 1): Crowned Lemur, Golden-crowned Sifaka.
I used the services of Patrick Richard, which I found on mammalwatching.com! I highly recommend his services! His expertise lies in finding and identifying mammals, reptiles and amphibians. He is also very good at organising your trip!
Best regards,
