Madagascar: A Home To These Creatures You Never Thought Existed Posted by johnstocks on January 9th Ruben Loftus-Cheek Jersey , ananarivo. The Island is located on the western side of the Indian Ocean, or from a different perspective, it is located off the coast, on the southeastern side of the African continent. The island is separated from Mozambique by the Mozambique Channel, the shortest distance between the island and Mozambique.
The 2017 population count puts the population of the island at 25.57 million. French and Malagasy are both official languages of the Republic of Madagascar.
Madagascar Radamel Falcao Jersey , unfortunately, is known to be one of the poorest countries in Africa with 90% of the population living under per day.
The Island Comprises rainforest, beaches, and reefs, and is home to many animals species, including the lemurs Pedro Jersey , that may not be found anywhere in the world. Two of this species will now be discussed
Let begin with the living species, the Madagascar Pochard.
The Madagascar Pochard
This is the rarest bird species in the world. This bird species was believed to have gone extinct when it wasn’t seen in 15 years. Fortunately, the small group of birds, about 25, were discovered on a remote part of the island of Madagascar. These are, according to researchers Papy Djilobodji Jersey , the last 25 birds of this species on earth.
This duck species are said to be on the brink of extinction due to, for example, sedimentation, invasive species, pollution, poor agricultural practices just to mention these few.

Elephant Bird
This is the largest but extinct bird known to man. The bird, measuring about 10 feet tall, is said to be flightless and nocturnal--almost blind and is also said to prefer the forest environment. The most distant relative of the bird species is the kiwi bird, a chicken-sized inhabitant of New Zealand. The Kiwi species is also said to have a nocturnal lifestyle (practically blind). This living relative is serving as a proxy for scientists to use to better understand the behavior of the elephant bird.
Unfortunately Ola Aina Jersey , this marvel of nature, the elephant bird, is said to have gone extinct about 500 to 1000 years ago due to human influence, via hunting of the birds, and their potential habitat loss.
But why are these birds so unique to this island, one might wonder?
Well Nemanja Matic Jersey , the reasons are not so far-fetched as scientists have deduced that the general isolation of an island is responsible for the uniqueness of many of these native islands animal species.
