Above: This Sanford's brown lemur was spotted on Amber Mountain, located in the northern part of Madagascar. During our vacation, this species was our most commonly seen lemur.
This particular lemur seemed content to sit in one place, making our photo taking that much easier. While we enjoyed exploring different areas of Madagascar, Amber Mountain was our favorite location given the biodiversity.
Below: This Amber Mountain chameleon was also found on Amber Mountain. This chameleon has a characteristic “elephant ear” appearance to the back of its head. The Amber Mountain chameleon was first observed in 1989 and first described in 2006. It is only found on and around Amber Mountain National Park. We saw many species of chameleons during our vacation, with most of them found in Amber Mountain.
