Sifaka dance

Sifakas are so used to life in the trees that when they move on ground they do so in an unconventional skip. It may not look like the most efficient way to move along the ground but it is done with incredible agility. Taken during the filming of Madagascar.
Aye-aye

The aye-aye is an odd animal. With impressive orange eyes, rodent-like teeth, one hugely elongated finger, a bushy tail and a haunting call you won't forget them in a hurry. Taken during the filming of Madagascar.
Tortoise

Madagascar is home to some unusual animals, but there are also some more familiar reptiles there too. Taken during the filming of Madagascar.
Chameleon

One of the most impressive scenes from the series Madagascar is that of the chameleon hunting.
