I'm finally back from a 5 week odyssey throughout Madagascar! The trip was incredible, with close to 125 mammal species including over 75 lemurs. Being in such a special place with so many endemics, I was able to bolster my Mammal Family numbers. 2 were completely new, with 6 more wild for the first time! 17 Families remain!!
