Animals
Crested Coua
Part of the cuckoo family, crested couas are solitary or found in pairs, with both males and females sharing parental care.
Crowned Lemur
Their specialised lower incisors form a “tooth comb,” used for grooming and strengthening social bonds.
Hamerkop
Named for their distinctive hammer-shaped heads, they build the largest domed nests of any bird, using vegetation and often decorating them with colourful materials.
Madagascar Crested Ibis
While its striking white wings are most visible in flight, this bird actually spends most of its time foraging on the forest floor for insects and small prey.
Red-bellied Lemur
Males and females are easily distinguished, as only males have a red belly while females have a white one.
White-faced Whistling Duck
Instead of quacking, they produce a high-pitched three-note whistle and are often called tree ducks for their habit of perching in trees!
Yellow-billed Stork
Rather than relying on sight, this stork wades with its bill open, snapping shut at prey it feels out - allowing it to hunt effectively in murky waters.
