Let’s Learn a Bit More About Madagascar

Madagascar, a nation on the southeast coast of Africa, is relatively smaller than the state of Texas and is situated about 250 miles east of Mozambique. Except for its western border along the Mozambique Channel, Madagascar is completely encircled by the Indian Ocean. The island’s centre is largely made up of hills and mountains. The highest mountain in the nation is Mount Maromokotro, at a height of 9,435 feet (2,876 metres). Being the fourth-largest island in the world, Madagascar, is home to species of plants and animals that are unique to our planet.

The island is covered in lush rainforests, barren deserts, and grassy plains, and its shores are lined with coral reefs and mangrove forests. Lemurs, one of the most well-known animal species in Madagascar, are endemic to the island and are present in practically all of its habitats. With more than 60% of its population under 25, Madagascar has a young population. The Malagasy people place a lot of value on music. Parties are frequently held in villages where residents can dance or perform musical instruments like the valiha, a guitar-like instrument regarded as Madagascar’s national instrument.
