It's Important To Learn About Madagascar
I can't wait to share with you about a new place I discovered called, "Madagascar!"
It's an island at the bottom right of Africa. Educating our kids is what will turn this extinction rate around.

I thought Australia grew some funny looking animals. Like the Southern Cassowary, and the Wombat. Well, take a look at this species!
According to the Time magazine article I read, Madagascar an island that broke away from Africa 80 to 100 million years ago. And these critters are found just in this one place!
I'm telling you, evolution happened in a big way here. For instance, the leaf tailed Gecko.
I guess over the years they got eaten a lot. And they finally said, "enough is enough! I want to thrive out in my home! I'm speaking the Gecko's native tongue. So the Gecko says, " how am I going to do that when I'm a meal all the time? Check it out; even his feet look like a plant. And his tail looks like a perfect flat leaf! Would you be able to find this species in the dense woods? I think not.
The solution was to decide to blend in with its surroundings. I know that's been a strategy that's been used many times over. I know, I'll have my tail look like a leaf! And my feet will look like a leaf. Why, even the top of my head will look like a leaf. That’s it, the decision is final, and I’ll have a plant theme look for the forest. I just think this is fascinating that nature found a way over millions of years to figure this out.

Are you ready for another strange wild animal?This is called the Aye-Aye. They are endemic of Madagascar. That means, this species exists only in this place. Hey, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Look at their feet. One toe is longer so it can reach for grubs. Yum.
According to the I.U.C.N. They are in critical condition. That means we better get some scientist to go and clone this one.
Man has to step in for more species than ever before. Here is one such example:
Considered bad luck and fair game in its native Madagascar, the cat-sized primate called aye-aye not only suffers from a bad image, but also is in danger of becoming extinct. I think their cute, don't you? And just how does a bad image get started? I read that when one these beast stare at you, someone dies. Come on!
To save the unusual-looking animal, scientists are hoping that a captive breeding mating programs can make a difference. This program will produce offspring safe from hunters and disappearing forests. Announcing plans for the first aye-aye colony to be established in the United States. Just don't let one look at you. :)
Researchers said recently that two of the animals (one of which is shown above) have arrived safely at the Duke University Primate Center in Durham, N.C. Despite a few glitches -- like the fact that both animals are male, and that almost nothing is known about aye-aye breeding habits -- primate experts at the center say they are optimistic.

Planting trees:
One organization, called the Wildlife Conservation Society, is attempting to make a difference by paying people 100. dollars a month to plant trees. And it was helping till a recent political battle happened. Think good thoughts for this political thing to end.
This is called the, "Upside Down Tree." Isn't that amazing? It truly looks like the roots are at the top!
How about one more strange animal from this island?
This is none other than the Fossa from from the island off the coast of Africa. And once again, deforestation is taking its tole on this animal. Pretty strange, don't you think? It’s a member of the Mongoose family. They are at the top of the food chain. Well, that is, except for man who is cutting his forest down?
