The Wildlife Enthusiast’s Guide to Madagascar

[@Textbooktravel]

I struggled to find the correct pronunciation for most of the destinations in this video so I ended up working with a Malagasy voiceover artist. I found this really interesting as many of the vowels are silent or pronounced differently. If you’re interested in hearing a native speaker pronounce these names, I’ve made a short video, which you can watch here (I don’t think I have commercial rights to this content so it’s unlisted) kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWW7i6idhq6Mq8k

Madagascar really is a world of it's own.

[@hernandezjudea]

Wow! Madagascar is truly one of the most ecologically-diverse locations on the planet! I LOVE your content! I'm an aspiring writer and must say I admire your writing style, transitioning, and analysis! Amazing work and I look forward to future content!

[@einarzoo7688]

Madagascar is definitely on my bucket list. Looks like the perfect place for backpacking. I had never herd of the tenrec before. Just amazing!!!

[@jamesbates5901]

definitely not the perfect place for backpacking

[@saroruhagoswami9202]

I'll visit Madagascar near future.

[@SergeantTopBins]

What an amazing video. Madagascar is such a unique place, I think the best word for it is awe

[@lonesoul663]

Another great video jam-packed video.

[@AniFam]

Awesome~👍 Thank you for sharing this video~🤗

[@matthewabln6989]

Excellent work. Kudos on the pronunciation. This was a joy to experience.

[@RafaCB0987]

What a wonderful country!

[@pattykcake]

I absolutely love the depth of research that go into these videos! seeing all the photos and videos of lemurs is also a plus :)

[@hensonlaura]

I rrally enjoy the extraordinarily beautiful imagery of your content. Likewise, it's fact -packed & narrated in a modest way with little of 'trademark' intros, themesong, etcetera. So much content on YT is geared toward self-gratifying attention & politically motivated attitudes, you're a much appreciated breath of fresh air.

[@lemuret69]

This video stands out even among the other superb ones on your channel.

[@paxtoncargill4661]

Madagascar is one of God's many blessings on earth.

[@adi8941]

Thank you for this wonderful video

[@ErezMarom]

Excellent survey, very informative! I've spent over 2 months shooting in Madagascar and have barely scratched the surface!

[@Valentina-qv5qb]

I love the thoroughness and great organization in this video. You never disappoint! 🤗

[@morenocamoletto3154]

Spectacular tour ❤ thanks

[@xiongbear.travel]

I really like these kinds of videos! You should absolutely continue with other places/countries. For the footage, are they recorded by yourself or do you find images/videos online or both? Keep up the great work!

[@Textbooktravel]

Thanks so much! It's all stock media at the moment (I hope to be able to take my own photos/videos at some point in the future but we'll see!)

[@christinaostdiek2994]

Boophis frog mention ! Thank you always want to see more of them.

[@indyreno2933]

Madagascar is in fact part of Africa, it is not just Africa's largest island, it is also one of its major countries since Africa has to most countries of any non-polar continent in the world.

[@glenngilbert7389]

Thank you for another well paced and informative video that succinctly covers the main areas to visit to experience the amazing biodiversity of this place.

[@poko_hahaha]

Love these videos! You should do one like this about Canada!

[@nesiahrampersad9790]

Love your work, great video

[@JayCeeMax]

i love these animals

[@nilanjanachatterjee9023]

Excellent video 😊

[@tntbeast6924]

Hey @Textbooktravel can you please do one of these Wildlife Enthusiasts Guide to India, it would be very interesting to see one of those and by the way I really like your wildlife guides to these countries! 🌴

[@jaynelson9385]

Another great video but you forgot to show the aye-aye’s long digit 😢

[@TRDbison]

When we getting a next part of the USA National parks??

[@kamielloossens7359]

Can you do a video on all species of sharks, i love your videos and i would really like a video on my favorite animal

[@clivematthews95]

Wow ☺️

[@rul3364]

love it

[@uriamudeltoro5075]

Damn....I need my passport....❤❤❤❤

[@kristiankagi1520]

Madagaskar is a mysterius iland

[@jamesbrown6020]

Ive been goin to sleep to this video like, every other night since the day it was published lol

[@hensonlaura]

4:20 Where I grew up in Saudi Arabia in the 60s & 70s, the lionfish was seen everytime you jumped into the sea, & called by everyone, a chicken-fish. I still think it's a visually much more appropriate name & never heard of a lionfish till I moved stateside, where they aren't native (but are now an invasive species edging out native fish). Always have wondered why anyone would be inspired to name a fish with 'feathers' sticking out of it "Lion". Never heard the term Devil Fire Fish, but it beats the other two names!

[@billyr2904]

Swift lizards are not to be confused with swift birds.

[@micahlallison4691]

I'd love a video on the vast Indonesian islands and wildlife

[@brockmaloney2699]

I wanna grow up to be just like this guy

[@dukeon]

Fun fact: You wouldn’t know it from looking at a Mercator projection map, but Madagascar is roughly the size of France, and about 2.4 times the size of the United Kingdom.

[@theflipflapchannelcreatedb8160]

Makes me wanna move it, move it cuz I like to move it, move it I like to move it, move it y'all like to, MOVE IT!

[@harmanbaidwan1713]

Please create a similar video like this, but for India! Thank you!

[@billyr2904]

In the thumbnail, can you have the lemur say the malagasy word for hello, because french is not exclusively spoken in Madagascar.

[@Textbooktravel]

With the thumbnails, I have to think about click through rate, unfortunately. Most people recognise and understand "Bonjour". Thanks for commenting

[@billyr2904]

French is fine.

[@JaydenDimaio]

No Malagasy Hognose? 😢

[@nickdaddario9152]

think 1:46 is green lynx spider

[@oreoisntacat]

awesome video! one question though, isn’t “sifaka” pronounced as “shi-fak”?

[@zacharieverreault7449]

Man you sound exactly like the tierzoo guy

[@Mr.GO2-s4o]

What sites do you get your videos from ?

[@minecraftminer59mineboymin38]

why is every cool nature places in countrys with dangerous people

[@eljanrimsa5843]

You are right, Western tourists travel everywhere

[@desesa7]

Madagascar (2005)

[@kendallkahl8725]

Its terrible how poor farming methods have destroyed much of Madagascar with the result of topsoil being washed away. Madagascar is one area where birth control needs to become popular before its destroyed by too many people.
