The sifakas are unique lemurs in that they don't walk when on the ground. They do this hopping/dancing thing and move very quickly. Here is one new mom in mid-air - very fun to watch. This one is a Verreaux's Sifaka from Berenty Reserve in #Madagascar .

The local villagers leave well before sunrise to walk (or if you're lucky enough to have a cart, you can ride) to the market in Morondova. The size of these trees is really immense and they are amazing.

This is not a majestic scene like the Avenue of the Baobabs in my last post, but a slice of everyday life on Madagascar. Many work in the rice fields, but in this area, there is another option. We found many families camped out in their favorite spots along the river bank digging and sifting through the dirt looking for sapphires. This family is heading home after a long, back-breaking day...

The fossa is a cat-like predator in Madagascar and the largest carnivore on the island. They are amazingly nimble up in the trees and can jump from tree to tree when chasing a meal (like a lemur.) They are probably most closely related to the mongoose and are endemic to the island. Very unusual animals that you won't find anywhere else.

Photo: Sunset at Anjajavy, Madagascar

We had the most amazing sunsets every evening at the Anjajavy Resort in #Madagascar .  Here is another of our beautiful sunsets, plus they have the best accommodations and the best food in all the places we stayed on our trip (likely in all of Madagascar)!
