Madagascar is a land where lizards scream and monkey-like lemurs sing songs of inexpressible beauty. It is a place where creatures you may never have heard of--fossa and tenrecs vangas and aye ayes--thrive in a true Lost World along with bizarre plants like the octopus tree and the three-cornered palm. And where the ancestors of the Malagasy as the island s people are known come alive in rollicking ceremonies known as turning the bones. Join Peter Tyson on a diverting odyssey with four scientists investigating the fascinating natural and cultural mysteries of this extraordinary land.
