  • Sakalava woman working with Raffia from the Raffia palm (Raffia rarinifera) The fibres are combed out from the leaves once the leaves have dried.  They are either left their natural colour or dyed with various natural dyes. These are then woven into hats, baskets and mats that are very characteristic of Madagascar. There is a project in the Ankarafantsika Nature Reserve helping several local communities to sustainably yield the palm leaves and thereby make a living from the forest and earn money rather than live off the forest causing more habitat distruction.<br />

  • Sickle-billed vanga (Falculea palliata).<br />
Ankarafantsika Strict Nature Reserve, Western deciduous forest. MADAGASCAR <br />
This is a family represented by 14 species of which 13 are endemic to Madagascar. The forms of bill shown by these 14 species reflect a spectacular range of evolutionary adaptations. All vangas are forest species and all feed on invertebrates and small vertebrates. They are loud and often found in large groups.  All vangas make bowl-shaped nests.<br />
DISTRIBUTION: North and ne, including Sambirano, Iharana and n of Sambava. Also found in w and s. Common thoughout its range. ENDEMIC TO MADASGACAR

  • White-breasted mesite (Mesitornis variegata) Ankarafantsika Nature Reserve, Western deciduous forest. MADAGASCAR<br />
ENDEMIC FAMILY TO MADAGASCAR NUMBERING ONLY 3 SPECIES.<br />
These birds are considered primitive forms of the rail. Although they do fly they are almost exclusively terrestrial. Their nests are rather flimsy structures built low off the ground and accessible without flying. In this species the sexes are simular. They are strictly terrestrial forest species, secretive and active and found in groups of 2 - 4. They feed in the leaf-litter looking for seeds and small insects. At night several individuals may spend the night perched on a low horizontal branch. <br />
HABITAT & DISTRIBUTION: Closed, deciduous dry forest on sandy soil and underbrush of which is covered with dead leaves. It is only known from 4 locations: Kirindy forest, n of Morondava, Ankarafantsika Reserve, Ankarana and Alalamera Special Reserves.<br />
THREATENED SPECIES: Due to restricted range and degradation of original deciduous dry forest by slash-and-burn and by invasion of forest by dogs and rats - especially near villages.<br />

  • Coquerel's sifaka (Propithecus coquereli)<br />
Ankarafantsika Strict Nature Reserve, Western deciduous forest. MADAGASCAR<br />
These are large (length 925-1,100mm and weight: 3.5-4kg), vertically clinging and leaping lemurs. Their distinctive coloration can not be confused with any other species. They are diurnal and live in family groups of three to ten. Coquerel's sifaka feed primarily on leaves, fruit, bark and flowers. They have one young in June or July. At first the infant clings to the mother's front then as it gets larger rides on her back.<br />
DISTRIBUTION: Restricted to north-west Madgascar in dry-deciduous and semi-evergreen forests.<br />
THREATENED SPECIES due to habitat distruction for agriculture and the production of charcoal but also deliberately started bush fires lit to encourage new grass shoots to grow. Hunting also occurs in some areas although around Ankarafantsika Reserve it is 'fady' or taboo to hunt this species.<br />

Crocodiles have recently started eating people from the village in the area and it is thought that the lake is so over-fished that the crocodiles no longer have enough of their natural food. On New Year's Day the people sacrifice a Zebu and feed it to the crocodiles.

  • 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 />
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.
