The resilient life within Madagascar's deciduous forests
In short: Explore the interior of Madagascar, where mountains and dry seasons create a demanding landscape for unique wildlife. This video captures how specific species have adapted to survive in these seasonal woodlands.
Madagascar's interior is characterized by dry, mountainous terrain. During the dry season, most deciduous forests shed their leaves as a survival mechanism, with the exception of those tucked away in narrow river-eroded canyons.
These environments host specialized fauna, including ring-tailed lemurs and pied crows. The region is also home to various tenrec species and unique chameleons specifically adapted to endure these harsh environmental conditions.
