S1.E1 ∙ The Chameleons

Thu, Jun 20, 2019

Madagascar is abundant with Chameleons...in fact this island off the east coast of Africa has almost half of all the world's species. In these emerald green forests, these tree crawlers thrive. Finding them is the hardest part because they have a secret weapon- their skin can change colour.

S1.E4 ∙ Lemur Island

Mon, May 20, 2019

Another misty morning in the Madagascan jungle, but today is a special day, Luca and Melua are off to a sanctuary where they will encounter many of Madagascar's most famous creatures - lemurs. They are perfectly adapted to live in the treetops and jump from tree to tree with ease. Lemurs may be primates, but unlike monkeys, their long tails are not used for hanging in trees but are rather used for balance.

S1.E5 ∙ Reptiles & Amphibians

Thu, Jun 20, 2019

Out in the coastal forests of Madagascar, Luca and Melua prepare themselves for another day of exploration. Today, they need to keep their eyes peeled, because what they are looking for can be hidden anywhere. The mangrove swamps, teaming with hermit crabs may be a treasure trove of discoveries - but, today Melua and Luca have their eyes on creatures found deeper in the forest. Deeper they go into the towering greenery- until, suddenly- is that a branch...slithering?

S1.E6 ∙ Finding King Julian

Thu, Jun 20, 2019

Welcome to yet another day of adventure in Madagascar. Today Luca and Melua are out on an incredible journey to find one of Madagascar's most iconic animals. While they walk, wherever they look, the lush emerald green forests are just filled with giant elephant ear plants, with some that stand 2 meters tall, they tower over them - until they get to today's mode of transport - To get to where they need to go, they will have to hop into canoes and head down the river. But, what they don't yet realise, is canoeing can be hard work.

S1.E10 ∙ Fossa & Tortoise

Thu, Jun 20, 2019

This morning is a little chilly out. The mist has set in all through the forest, making it a little spooky. But that doesn't stop our two young explorers on their mission to find Madagascar's most fearsome predator. The Madagascan fossa. A small carnivorous mammal that lives in these forests. They may not be much bigger than your average dog but these furry creatures are the most fearsome predators on the whole island.
