Madagascar Project Geography and Evolution Madagascar is divided into roughly four major habitat types separated by a chain of mountains that runs down the length of the island: rain forest covers the eastern slopes of the mountains, at one time all the way to the eastern seaboard; remnant patches of what was once an enormous dry deciduous forest can be found along the west side of the island; while grasslands typical of the high plateau now dominate the island's scenery; and spiny desert is found at the southern end of the island. According to geologists, the island was once attached to Africa about 165 million years ago, at a time in history when dinosaurs ruled the earth. As massive continents drifted apart, the island of Madagascar separated from Africa, and its fauna and flora have evolved along separate lines ever since. Unlike Africa, there are no "mega-fauna"no elephants, giraffe, or antelope, no lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, or wild dogs. There are no front-fanged snakes of the type that keeps the wary biologist looking around in Africa. About 75% of the plants and animals that exist on Madagascar, exist there and nowhere else on earththey are

introduction climate geography history ... birds The Geography of Madagascar Africa and Asia in a nutshell Madagascar measures 587,040 square kilometres (1.580 km of north to the south and 580 km east to west). The coastline measures 4.828 km. The diversity of the climate is mirrored in that of the landscape : Amazonian in the Betsiboka delta, Saharan in the west, Swiss in the high plateau's of the centre and west-American in the south. From mid-September through October, the jacaranda trees are in bloom, baby lemurs are being born, and the heavy downpours that make overland travel tough have not yet started. Geographical regions The island can be divided into five geographical regions: the east coast, the Tsaratanana Massif, the central highlands, the west coast, and the southwest. A central mountainous plateau with a temperate climate dominates the island of Madagascar. Partly volcanic in origin, the uplands rise to 2876 m (9436 ft) atop Maromokotro. The highest elevations parallel the east coast, whereas the land slopes more gradually to the west coast. introduction climate geography history ... birds
