Berenty - a walk in the bush

And the bush at Berenty Reserve is spiny indeed, but very rewarding. Madagascar ocotillo - Alluaudia procera



Magnificent baobabs, and one of them even provides a seat for a weary guide:



We came across some men gathering to track a cattle thief along the riverside:


There was a beautiful Cretivia tree along the riverbank:


Plenty of reptilian life in Madagascar, like these chameleons:




 His little friend, Dromicodryas bernieri:


A ground boa:



A radiated tortoise:



Spider tortoises:


A skink:

More of those weird flatid leaf bugs:



A golden spider :

A Madagascar hissing cockroach, which does, indeed, hiss:


And a scorpion:
