What makes Madagascar so different in its wildlife?

What makes Madagascar's wildlife successful?What makes Madagascar so different in its wildlife?
The India Plate split from Madagascar in the late Cretaceous Period some 145.5 卤 4.0 million years ago, It has been detached from a land mass since then.


So like Australia and the Galapagos Islands wildlife evolved in a different yet fantastic way.





Just to give you an idea of how diverse this country really is we have listed some interesting facts for you...As you will know, Madagascar is renowned for its high percentage of endemic fauna and flora of which 106 of the 250 bird species are endemic, 98% of the islands native reptile and amphibians are only found on this island, over half of the worlds chameleon species are found here, 32 species of lemur, and in the waters surrounding the island the traveller has the opportunity of seeing swordfish, sharks, stingrays and whales! Unbeatable...





None of the species of lemur on this magical island are in existence in the wild anywhere else in the world and yet here they are in abundance from one of the smallest primates in the world - the nocturnal mouse lemur - to the dancing sifaka both found in Berenty Reserve, to the largest lemur in existence, the Indri, found in Perinet/Andasibe.What makes Madagascar so different in its wildlife?
Madagascar is different from the other wildlife because it has been isolated from civilization for centurys. Until now that is. And your second questions is answered from the first it has been isolated that what makes it so successful.
