Sept insolites de Madagascar by Hôtel★★★ Restaurant gourmand Coco Lodge Majunga.
1. King of camouflage : the Chameleon course !
Once the fastest animal of the Kingdom of Madagascar, the Chameleon advance now with hesitation looking right and left to make sure not to crush anyone. Patience will be required if you want to watch them. Indeed, true King of camouflage, the Chameleon blends into nature with amazing ease.
In the same way as the lemurs, chameleons could symbolize Madagascar. Indeed, two-thirds of the world's species live on the big island, from the smallest (Chamaeleo Nasatus of 10 cm) to the largest (Chamaeleo Oustaleti of 70 cm).
2. The artists of the forest
Together they could form one of the most promising groups of Madagascar.
• The first is a singer of the Andasibe region. Its powerful song indeed, which can last up to 3 minutes, is heard within a radius of 3 to 5 km. These various Cree have a specific meaning : to prevent against aerial predators (bark), warn of danger on the ground (hoot) or even attract his partner through his 'cry of love '., … You will of course recognize the Indri Indri !
• The second moves that in swaying gracefully on the ground by a succession of small bonds. Of its spirit and its further movements, dancer reputation often precedes. It is always presented as the great dancer of Madagascar … It is of course the Sifaka.
3. The roots of heaven : the Baobab Tree course.
It is in Madagascar that baobab has elected its principal residence. According to legend, He tells that its branches would be in fact … These roots !
Madagascar has so far 7 species against 2 for the Australia and one for all Africa.
4. The mysterious people : the Mikea
How to survive in a spiny forest from Tulear to Morombe without shade and where water is scarce?
The Mikea have the secret : the baboho. This root recalls the watermelon and consume it equals the time to eat and drink !
5. The art of carving wood
In a distant place called Ambositra, There is a village where 150 families engage in the manufacture of wooden objects : Art Zafamaniry. It is tells that the geometric motifs and rosettes on their doors and windows are so wonderful that they have been included in the world cultural heritage of UNESCO.
Before so much notoriety, the Zafimaniry art would also decline other forms : two panels chairs, wooden chests, Honey boxes, 'lighters' traditional…
6. The forests of Rocky needles : the tsingys
Take large tracts of limestone, partly composed of fossils and shells.
Mix well with the rain and the Earth.
Let stand a few years.
This is the masterpieces that have the names Bemaraha, Ankarana, Tsingy de Namoroka or Tsingy Red are ready.
7. The Show of cocoa ! Who am I ?
95% my production comes from the DIANA region.
Madagascar produces around 3 000 to 4 000 tonnes per year.
I am doing the happiness of large pastry international.
I declined on three varieties : «Forestero. , "the ' Criollo» and the «Trinitario., (hybrid, derived from the cross between "Forestero" and "Criollo".). I am of course cocoa.
