  • Vegetation in Highlands of Santa Cruz Island.<br />
Galapagos Islands<br />
ECUADOR.  South America<br />
The highland zone consists of lush evergreen forest. This is due to the mist or 'garúa' that the cool trade winds bring from the southeast. Between 300 and 700 meters is a zone dominated by a single tree species - (Scalesia), an endemic genus of the daisy or sunflower family. These trees can reach heights of up to 10 meters. At higher altitudes in this zone there are trees such as cat's claw (Zanthoxylum fagara) and shrubs such as milkberry (Chiococca alba) the most distinctive change is the abundance of epiphytes. These are plants such as mosses, liverworts, bromeliads and vines that cling to others but are not parasites. The dense growth of brown mosses has given the name 'brown zone' to the habitat above the scalasia forest. Above this 'brown zone' another plant the (Miconia) has given its name to the zone. Sadly this plant is severely endangered due to fires and human activity. Above this habitat are few trees and the eroded uplands are covered in ferns, sedges and grasses. This habitat is known as the pampa.

They are the largest rodents in the world - averaging 50kgs or 110Lbs. Largely aquatic mammals that feed on vegetation in and around swamps. They live in family groups of 10 - 30 animals. Due to their large litter sizes - up to 7 babies, they are are well suited to farming.  They do not compete with cattle as they graze short grass near water.

It is known as the Golden City as the fort and town's buildings are built from the local yellow sandstone. The bustling narrow streets are lined with tradesmen selling their wares. Many of the smalll shops are occupied by descendents of the original owners. There are many exceptional Havelis (mansions of rich merchants - exquistely carved) both in the fort and the old walled town.

  • 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 />

  • White-footed sportive lemur (Lepilemur leucopus) Berenty Reserve. Southern MADAGASCAR<br />
HABITAT: Xerophytic spiny forest and gallery forest in southern and south-west Madagascar. <br />
These are medium-sized nocturnal lemurs with long tails and the smallest in their genus. Length: 460-520mm; Weight 500-700 grams. They cling vertically to tree trunks and jump large distances with their powerful hind legs. Tree holes, tangles of lianas (vines) or tree forks are the preferred sleep sites where they can be seen during the day resting. They are usually found singularly except during breeding season and when they have offspring. They feed on the tough leaves from Didiereaceae and Euphorbiaccae species, together with the leaves and occasionally flowers of the Tamarind or Kily tree.<br />
ENDEMIC TO MADAGASCAR.<br />
THREATS: Habitat distruction from burning for more cattle pastures. Hunting in some areas.<br />
STATUS: Threatened due to small range and the above threats but still common thoughout its range

  • Milne-Edward's sportive lemur (Lepilemur edwardsi) Ankarafantsika Nature Reserve. Western MADAGASCAR<br />
HABITAT: Dry deciduous forest. This species is restricted to the west and north-west of Madagascar. <br />
These are medium-sized nocturnal lemurs with long tails. Weight 600-800 grams. They cling vertically to tree trunks and jump large distances with their powerful hind legs. Tree holes are the preferred sleep sites where they can be seen during the day sunning themselves. They are usually found singularly but as many as 4 individuals can be found sharing large tree holes. They feed mostly on leaves, although some fruits, seeds and flowers are consumed. They have been observed taking moths.<br />
