“This CD of the sounds of Madagascar “The Island Continent” as it is also known, is a witness to its strange fauna, so different from that of nearby Africa. There are a large number of species, even families, that occur nowhere else, such as the Couas, as sort of terrestrial cuckoo, or the Lemurs, primitive relatives of the monkeys, whose strange songs can be heard here. The three habitats included on the CD are: The east coast (from Périnet to Ranomafana); Nosy mangabe island; The far south, from Berenty yo Beza-mahafaly via l’Isalo.” Patrick Frémeaux & Jean C. Roché
