What kind of animals live in Madagascar?

Answer 1

Madagascar has an unusual mix of wildlife. For example, the island does not have apes, monkeys, elephants, zebras, giraffes, lions, hyenas, rhinos, antelopes, buffalo, or camels that you might expect to find in Africa, but it does have lemurs, tenrecs, boa constrictors, iguanas, and other creatures.
Due to its remote location, Madagascar was long untouched by the modern world. As with more than 9000 species of plants unique to the island, many animals live there that are extinct elsewhere. These include lemurs (primates), tenrecs (shrews), the fossa (a catlike relative of the mongoose), and other bats, rodents, and birds.

Answer 2

There are a number of different types of animals in Madagascar, and due to its geographical isolation from continental Africa, many of these animal (and plant) species are unique to Madagascar and found no where else on earth. Lemurs are a wonderful example. Just like us, lemurs are members of the order Primate, and are found in the remaining pockets of forest on this island. Most people are familiar with the ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta), but there are many, many other types of lemurs including sifaka (Propithecus), indri, mouse lemurs, blue-eyed black lemurs, etc. Due to the extensive deforestation, however, much of Madagascar's remarkable biodiversity is in jeopardy.
