<br/><br/> "For the last 80 million years, the island of Madagascar has floated along in splendid isolation, separated from the rest of the world by miles of ocean, with only the rarest of storm-tossed creatures and plants able to reach its shores alive. Those that made it, though, were winners of the evolutionary lottery as the castaways spun off phenomenal numbers of new species, filling the once lonely island and turning it into one of the most biologically significant places on earth." (NEW YORK TIMES) This article examines the enormous diversity of flora and fauna on the island of Madagascar.
