Составьте рассказ о мадагаскаре чтоб там было про ваниль и про народные песни и интременты

Quotation
Part of the lost-world feeling comes because the island split off from East Africa's tectonic plate at the end of the dinosaurs and the beginning of mammals. The flora and fauna evolved in isolation, and natural selection made different choices - as with the chameleons I'd seen, Madagascar contains more species than the rest of the world put together.

Ninety percent of the island's plants and animals are found nowhere else in the world. Unknown life still waits to be discovered, one hopes before it becomes extinct or is destroyed by the inexorable march of deforestation.

The above extract is taken from Madagascar Travels by Christina Dodwell.

Folklore
"The chiefest paradise this day upon earth"
Richard Boothby, 1630

Some four centuries on and the sentiment still rings true. Madagascar is the fourth biggest island on earth, and having broken away from Africa millions of years ago, an ecosystem all of its own has evolved. It is wild, wonderful, and home to some 200,000 different species. It is not necessary to be a budding David Attenborough to be charmed by its natural history, but once there it would be a sin not to dip your toe into this most extraordinary environment.

One species above all symbolises Madagascar. As a cultural icon you need look no further than the prize exhibit: the lemurs. Luckily, you don't have to look too hard to find them. Beautiful, lissome, curious, oozing character, Madagascar is the only place on the planet these engaging creatures can be found in the wild. The lemurs belong to a group of primates called prosimians, which means 'before monkeys'. Apparently they ruled the trees until the more highly developed monkeys took over, at which point they became extinct everywhere except Madagascar. When this giant land mass broke away from Africa, a few lemurs took refuge. And thank goodness they did, for they are a joy to behold today. It's easy to find them in the forests. Certain species are particularly sociable, and will catch you in the gaze of their amber, unblinking eyes, come to munch a banana from your fingers, give you an outrageously soft hand to hold, maybe a cuddle, then try to pinch your camera.

There are over 50 different variations, from the pygmy mouse lemur, which is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, to the indri, who look like giant teddy bears and can weigh up to 7kg. Some of them take more patience and expertise to find (we were fortunate enough to have Luc, a modern-day Doctor Doolittle, as our guide and he did not disappoint). Particularly memorable was a trip into the resplendent rainforest at Perinet, a three hour ride East of the Capital. Luc detected a family of indri high up in the trees and it was unforgettable watching as they cavorted and cooed to each other with such entrancing song it's a wonder they don't fall out the trees. It was hypnotic and electrifying all at once and my head spun for some time afterwards.

The diversity of Malagasy life is not restricted to lemurs, and the thousands of other animals, birds and flaura on hand. Variety is also reflected in the people, a nation meshed together from a multitude of different clans. The names range from the straightforward ('people of the sands' or people of the swamps') to the more bizarre ('those who do not cut their hair' and 'those who make taboos or those who make happy').

If it's soul food that you are after, Madagascar can fill you up pretty quickly.
