Did You Know?

An Island of Species Found Nowhere Else

Madagascar separated from other landmasses roughly 88 million years ago, and around 90% of its wildlife exists nowhere else — including all 100-odd lemur species. Antananarivo is the base for most research on them.

The clock: Antananarivo keeps UTC+3 at about 1,280 metres, which makes it markedly cooler than the coast — the highlands can drop near freezing in July.
