Madagascar is a remarkable place and this talk takes us through the central and eastern region, trekking in the rainforest to spot some of the 100+ species of lemurs both in the mountains and down to the coast. Exploring different environment for totally different collections of lemur species.
We found the tiny mouse lemur (pictured above) , the rare eye-eye and the indri with its haunting call amongst many others.
Finally we ended up on a small island off the east coast of Madagascar to see the humpback whales performing their spectacular breaching.
The talk is illustrated with photographs and video.
