Fork-Tailed Drongo
Walks through the national park are best done early in the morning to avoid the midday heat (often reaching the mid to high 30s Celsius). Again, I chose to spend my time within the canyon of Namaza. As already mentioned, we came across a very friendly troop of Ring-Tailed Lemurs, their babies being about as cute as you can get – some seemed to be succumbing to the heat and falling asleep on their mother's backs. Not only that, but Namaza also appeared to be the desired spot for a troop of Red Fronted Brown Lemurs. We were to learn from our guide that these lemurs are the bullies of Namaza, who dominate the Ring-Tails and, very rarely, have been known to take and eat the Ring-Tails' babies.
