The fauna in Masoala and its surrounding reserves is a showcase of Madagascar's biodiversity. The fauna here is typical of the tropical humid region of the island. A large diversity of reptiles and amphibians have been inventoried here, and more than 95% of the species are endemic.

Masoala is also a special place to observe Malagasy fauna found nowhere else on the island. As one of the last remaining large pristine forests in Madagascar, Masoala shelters numerous important species. It is difficult to describe the pleasure of seeing some of the rarest faunal species in the world like the serpent eagle, but this is a place where astounding discoveries are almost commonplace.

Watch a chameleon as it climbs ever so slowly up a tree, or marvel at the unusual shapes of insects and lizards creatures like the Uroplatus. Wander through this emerald paradise, surprised by the sudden appearance or call of the frogs, birds and lemurs that call this magical forest home.
