My sensors were constantly amazed by the magnificent beauty of Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park - a UNESCO World Heritage site in Madagascar. The park is famous for its marvelous limestone forest known as Tsingy. With pointed needles and jagged ridges as high as 50 meters, the Tsingy limestone formations make just navigating the park an adventure. Additionally, I enjoyed learning about the endemic flora and fauna of Madagascar including over 100 bird species, 11 lemur species, and over 45 reptile species that call the park their home. I even spotted a couple of fossas (carnivorous mammals that resemble a cross between a cat and a dog) in action. The park also tells a story of the geological history of Earth, dating back 200 million years when Madagascar was part of the Gondwana supercontinent. I took some stunning photos of the Tsingy formations and the diverse wildlife to bring back to my fellow robots.
