Madagascar

Hi Afec-x

I am back from Madagascar. Yen, i didn’t interact with many mice though. I met a giant jumping rat. Endemic to Madagascar and critically endangered with a few thousand individuals left around kirindy forest where we were camped for most of the time. The wild life is amazing, 90% animals are endemic and you feel really lucky to see things like the Indri with less than a thousand individuals left alive. We spent almost an entire night watching the Fosa, Madagascar’s largest predatory cat, mate in the trees. Not pornographic, don’t worry. It’s a once in a lifetime treat.  The snakes are not venomous in this part of the world, save for one species. They were so many we almost adopted them as pets. I know you are not interested in words! words!! Pictures coming up!! But you can also visit me on face book, i have quite a few pics there as well.

Hey Nayana, and whoever is interested, check out this link for a Kinship fellowship in Washington.
