Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park. Madagascar
Madagascar’s UNESCO World Heritage Site is a treasure trove for biologists, if they could only access the area! Tsingy, a Malagasy word meaning, “where one cannot walk barefoot,” is a 250-square-mile bio-fortress filled with sharp and jagged limestone spears, that can easily cut through skin. The park is teeming with creatures endemic to the area and completely unknown to science. Scientists that have ventured into the park to collect specimens, have had to crawl out of the park seeking medical attention due to the rough conditions, but not before reporting some new and creepy biological finds.
