Friends of the forest

Hiking is never a boring task up here when there are surprises around every corner. You never know when you might run into a ginormous pill bug (Order Sphaerotheriida). Doesn’t it just make you want to conglobate (aka roll into a little ball?)

Or you could witness one of the amazing leaf-tailed geckos (genus Uroplatus).

Or shake hands with a potentially toxic millipede. Such is diversity in Madagascar!
