  • 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 />
ENDEMIC TO MADAGASCAR

  • Aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis)<br />
MADAGASCAR<br />
One of the most bizarre mammals/ primates / lemurs in the world. Their peculiar features include huge ears, bushy tail, long shaggy coast, rodent-like teeth and a skeletal 'probe-like' middle finger. Males and females are simular looking and have a body length of 440-530mm and weight of 2.3kg. They are nocturnal lemurs and largely solitary. During the day they hide in a 'nest' which they make from twigs and dead leaves. They are continually making new nest sites. They feed on ramy nuts (Canarium madagascariensis) nectar from Traveller's palm (Ravenala madagascariensis), some fungi and insect grubs. They have also been known to raid coconut, lichee and mango plantations. They use their rodent-like teeth to gnaw into hard nut shells, then insert the skeletal finger to extract the pulp. A large portion of their night is spent foraging and they are able to travel considerable distances to do that. <br />
HABITAT & DISTRIBUTION: Low and mid altitude rain forests, dry deciduous forests and some cultivated areas like lichee and coconut plantations. They are found widely in native forests along the entire east coast rain forest region, northern humid forests and west coast from Bemaraha north.<br />
THREATENED SPECIES: The population densities are not known but as in the case of most lemurs probably declining through habitat loss as their home-ranges are large. In some areas it is 'fady' (taboo) to hunt them while in others they are thought to bring bad luck and are killed by villages.  The meat is also sometimes eaten.<br />

  • Rockhopper Penguins (Eudyptes chrysocome chrysocome) & Black-browed Albatross (Thalassarche melanophrys) <br />
Steeple Jason Island. FALKLAND ISLANDS.<br />
The Penguins return in early October to breed after their winter pelagic wandering. The males return about 10 days before the females. They nest in close-packed colonies on cliffs, often in association with Black-browed albatross and King Cormorants. They lay 2 eggs. The first egg is smaller and the chick is rarely reared to fledging. After the chicks fledge in April the colonies are once again deserted. They are the most abundant penguin species in the Falklands. They feed mostly on squid, Lobster Krill and fish.<br />
RANGE: Subantarctic Islands, Cape Horn, Ildefonso Island, Isla Morton, Isla Hornos and Southern Chile, Falkands and a few in South Georgia. Also Tristan de Cunha, Gough, St Paul and Amsterdam Islands, Prince Edward, Marion, Crozet, Kerguelen, Heard, Macquarie, Campbell, Antipodes and Auckland Islands.<br />
<br />
Black-browed Albatross return to the same nest annually. The nest is a a solid pillar up to 50cm high of mud and guano with some grass and seaweed incorporated. A single egg is laid in October and juveniles fledge between mid March and April. They have a circumpolar range betweeen 65 S and 20 south and breed on Subantarctic Islands, Including South Georgia and islands off southern South America. In the Falklands they are also found on Beauchene, Saunders, West Point and New Island.<br />
The Jasons (Grand, Elephant and Steeple) are a chain of islands 40 miles (64km) north and west off West Falkland towards Patagonia. Steeple is 6 by 1 mile (10Km by 1.6km) in size. From the coast the land rises steeply to a rocky ridge running along the length. <br />
THIS ISLAND HAS THE LARGEST BLACK-BROWED COLONY IN THE WORLD WITH 100,000+ PAIRS. The island is owned by WCS (Wildlife Conservation Society) Falklands Conservation have an ongoing research project with the Albatross on Steeple Jason.<br />
