“It was my second J Term and I was way out of my comfort zone.”

 
About 75 percent of the species found in Madagascar are unique to the island, including the lemurs.
Our first day in Ankarafantsika, a National Park in the west.  Catching snakes turned out to be one of Mike’s favorite pastimes.
A panther chameleon climbed on me at Madagascar Exotic, which breeds chameleons, snakes, and geckos.
On Lemur Island in Andasibe, two brown lemurs jumped onto Chelsea and in her canoe to get bananas.
Me and a Beobab tree, few remain in the world.
We hiked into the Canyon of the Monkey (left) and went swimming in natural pools.

DIG DEEPER

BIOL 244 in Madagascar meant camping every night, huge changes in our diets, and more spiders and snakes than I thought possible. We saw incredible landscapes, took long hikes to places most people will never see, had great times with Malagasy children, and a lot of laughs over the inquisitive lemurs. The experience was exhausting, amazing, and unforgettable.
