They would have hunted the mother for meat and raized the baby as their pet<br />
This Indian tribe were basically uncontacted until 1956 when missionaries from the Summer Institute of Linguistics made contact with them. However there are still some groups from the tribe that remain uncontacted.  They are known as the Tagaeri & Taromanani. Traditionally these Indians were very hostile and killed many people who tried to enter into their territory. Their territory is in the Yasuni National Park which is now also being exploited for oil.

  • Jewel chameleon FEMALE (Furcifer lateralis) commonly encountered across the island except in NW MADAGASCAR. Usually found in open scrubby lowlands, gardens and degraded habitats and within humid or dry areas. It is also found in and around the capital of Antananarivo.<br />
A small chameleon that may reach a length of 22cm. Coloration varies from uniformly green to a beautiful mix of green, blue, yellow and red. Three dark circles and a longitudinal white line along hte flanks are visible in most individuals. Dark stripes radiate out from the eyes and males and females are similar.<br />
There are more than 150 species world wide and over half of those are only found in Madagascar. All species on the island are Native.<br />
Chameleons are well-known for their special adaptions: The ability to change color rapidly to either match their surroundings or to reflect their mood. They have the capacity to move their turreted eyes independently of each other which allows them to look in different directions simultaneously. They have independent 360 degree vision except when hunting they use binocular vison to estimate the distance of the prey. They capture their prey with the rapid firing of their tongue which can extend to approximately half of their body length and is ended with a kind of gluing hammer. All species found in Madagascar lay eggs (Oviparous) and do not give parental care. The calumma and furcifer group are known as true chameleons as they have a prehensile tails. They tend to be solitary except during the breeding season. <br />
Furcifer lateralis is CITES 11 classification BUT is one of four species that may be exported from Madagascar - mainly for the international pet trade.<br />

  • Panther chameleon (Furcifer pardalis)<br />
Tamatave, Eastern rainforst of MADAGASCAR<br />
This is a medium to large species growning up to 520mm. It is a true chameleon as it possesses a prehensile tail. This plus its opposable, fuxed fingers help it adapt to its arboreal life. Pardalus lacks occipital lobes and without real nasal appendages but has a conspicuous protruding rostral border. It is renowned for the high number of regional color morphs and dramatic color changes. Most dramatic color changes observed in courting males. Oviparous - female laying 12-46 eggs, buried in the ground. Young hatch after 159 - 384 days and measure +-55mm.<br />
RANGE: Locally abundant in forests found in the north and north east of Madagascar but also in open habitats  as they are able to inhabit degraded secondary forest areas.<br />
Two species of Panther chameleon are also found in the Comores and one in Reunion Island.<br />

  • Day gecko (Phelsuma madagascariensis grandis) Ankarana Special Reserve. NW MADAGASCAR. These are among the largest of the spelsuma species on the island and can reach a lenth of 300mm. They are common in coastal areas of northern Madagascar.<br />
Phelsumas are among the most prominent reptiles in Madagascar. They are also found on other Indian Ocean Islands. They are medium-sized to large arboreal diurnal geckos with round pupils. Species from humid regions tend to be brighter green, often with red marking while species from drier regions are often grey or brown. It is thought that their very conspicuous colour patterns could function as a premating isolation mechanism which helps to prevent interbreeding of different color morphs and therefore reinforce speciation events. In contrast to most other animal groups, Phelsuma seem to benefit from deforestation and are more abundant in cultivated areas than in natural habitas. However there are a few that are only found on edges of primary forest and they are seriously threatened by habitat destruction. All the phelsumas in Madagascar glue their eggs to a substate like bark. Usually 2 eggs per clutch. Several species like Phelsuma madagascariensis grandis defend their clutches.<br />
Threats: THEY ARE HEAVILY COLLECTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL PET TRADE.

  • Ring-tailed lemur & baby  (Lemur catta) Beza mahafaly Special Reserve. South-western MADAGASCAR <br />
THIS GENUS CONTAINS A SINGLE SPECIES<br />
Males and females look alike. Medium sized lemurs, length of 950-1,100mm and weight: 2.3-3.5kg's. They have long alternate black and white ringed tails and adopt a horizontal body posture generally moving quadrupedally on the ground. Ring-tailed lemurs are diurnal and are the most terrestrial of all Malagasy primates. This species has been studied since the 1960's and more information has been gathered on it than any other Malagasy primate. Their diet is very varied and consists of fruit, leaves, flowers, bark, sap and occasionally invertebrates. They also occur in larger groups than any other Malagasy primate - from 3 to around 25. There is a well-defined and maintained heirachy within the troop and females are dominant with the alpha female forming the focal point for the group. Males also have their own heirachy. Scent marking is important for demarking their territory. Young are born in August and September. Only 30% reach adulthood.<br />
HABITAT & DISTRIBUTION: Spiny forest, dry scrub, deciduous forest and gallery forest are used throughout the majority of its range. At Andringitra Massif they are found on exposed rocks. They are found in south and south-western Madagascar from Tolagnaro in the se to just south of Morondava on the west coast. Generally found at lower elevations except in Andringitra Massif where it has been recorded above the treeline to altitudes in excess of 2,600 meters.<br />
THREATENED SPECIES: The two main habitat types preferred by Ring-tailed lemurs, dense Didieraceae/Euphorbiaceae bush and riverside gallery forest, are already restricted and known to be diminishing alarmingly as a result of fires, overgrazing and wood-harvesting for charcoal production. They are still hunted for food and trapped to be kept as pets.<br />

    MA6162_Ring-tailed_lemur.jpg
  • Ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta) near Andringitra mountains. South-central MADAGASCAR <br />
THIS GENUS CONTAINS A SINGLE SPECIES<br />
Males and females look alike. Medium sized lemurs, length of 950-1,100mm and weight: 2.3-3.5kg's. They have long alternate black and white ringed tails and adopt a horizontal body posture generally moving quadrupedally on the ground. Ring-tailed lemurs are diurnal and are the most terrestrial of all Malagasy primates. This species has been studied since the 1960's and more information has been gathered on it than any other Malagasy primate. Their diet is very varied and consists of fruit, leaves, flowers, bark, sap and occasionally invertebrates. They also occur in larger groups than any other Malagasy primate - from 3 to around 25. There is a well-defined and maintained heirachy within the troop and females are dominant with the alpha female forming the focal point for the group. Males also have their own heirachy. Scent marking is important for demarking their territory. Young are born in August and September. Only 30% reach adulthood.<br />

  • Galapagos Sealion (Zalophus wollebaeki) on the waterfront with Domestic Dogs. (Sealions can contract canine diseases)<br />
Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, San Cristobal Island, GALAPAGOS, ECUADOR. South America<br />
There are approximately 16,000 individual sealions in the archipelago and numbers are increasing. Males are much larger than females, weighing up to 250kg compared with 100kg in the females. They spend a large amount of time hauled up on sandy beaches. The males establish territories which are savegely defended from rivals. Young bachelors and unsuccessful bulls then leave the area and establish bachelor colonies on the outskirts of female haul-outs. Reproduction occures mainly in the Garua season between July and December and will vary from Island to Island. Sealions are highly thigmotactic (seeking body contact) and loaf around in piles on the beaches. They are extremely efficient hunters, preferring sardines to other fish, so spend a considerable time resting or at play. Underwater they are well streamlined, lithe and acrobatic.
