This series explores the extraordinary wildlife and dramatic
landscapes of one of the world's largest and strangest island.
Lying just off the coast of Africa, Madagascar is a land of misty
mountains, tropical rainforests and weird spiny desert scrub. Here
the wildlife has evolved in splendid isolation to become bizarre
and totally unique.
The great mystery of Madagascar is why it has such a unique and
varied flora and fauna - a diversity of life that makes even the
famed Galapagos Islands pale by comparison. What is it that makes
Madagascar so different from the rest of the world?
This series finds clues from Madagascar's extraordinary animals,
plants and landscape to discover how the island's remarkable past
has produced its intriguing present, like the Tsingy - a series of
jagged limestone peaks that have cut off animals in isolated gorges,
allowing them to evolve into their own unique species.
On the east side of the island, rugged mountains rise dramatically
from the palm fringed Indian Ocean. Travelling from the highest
mountains, where trees are few and it's cold enough for frost,
through the lush, cloaking rainforests, down to the tropical
coast, discovering the ring-tailed lemurs, the jewelled geckos
and the giant predatory wasps. So what is it that has made this
narrow eastern strip in particular so rich in life?
South of Madagascar is home to its most extraordinary
landscapes - from forests of 'upside down' trees, to alien
'spiny deserts'. In stark contrast to the east, this is a
place that's bone-dry for most of the year yet it's
extraordinarily rich in wildlife. Here only the toughest
and most opportunistic survive and some of the strategies
to survive here are ingenious. This Blu-ray follows the
long dry season of this landscape to see how life copes,
as it waits for the brief rains.
