This episode focuses on the desert-like west and south of Madagascar. It might not rain there for nine months of the year and some years not at all. To live here, you have to be a specialist. The Verreaux's sifakas lives in the strange 'spiny forest' – many of the trees here have savage spikes and some drip toxic chemicals. But this species of lemur is totally at home here – they get all the moisture they need from the plants' hard leaves.
