Great finds. Love Fossas, fascinating beast. Give them 1000 more years and they'll turn into actual cats. They're close enough as is lol. Also what happened at 2:10? Scary sounds

+Brett Hartl's Wildlife Videos Madagascar is one of Africa's amazing countries and its animals are fascinating. Can you do more of Africa's wildlife in Rwanda (Land of a thousand hills) and Democratic Republic of the Congo in Virunga national park, Volcanoes national park, Kahuzi biega national park, Akagera national park and others next from those countries?

Thank you for the kind note. These videos are from my vacations and trips around the world. I hope to go to Rwanda and the DRC in the future, but it probably will not be for a few more years. I have seen mountain gorillas in Uganda and there is a video from that trip, but that was as close as I got to both countries.

@@BrettHartl I know I've watch that video about Uganda's primates you filmed back in late 2018 and I loved it a lot and you're welcome. You could film mountain gorillas (gorilla beringei beringei) again in Congo's Virunga national park and Rwanda's volcanoes national park while in Congo's Kahuzi-Biega national is home to the eastern lowland gorillas (gorilla beringei graueri).

Great video man I love Madagascar by the way which by of the island did you find the tenrecs?

[@BrettHartl]

The lowland streaked tenrec were in Masaola Peninsula, and the hedgehog tenrec was in Ifaty spiny forest

Thanks very much for a great video and detailed itinerary. It’ll help a lot for planning our trip in July. You mention Kirindy Camp. Is that Relais du Kirindy?

[@BrettHartl]

@@alanuae The camp is inside the park, about 20 minutes from the hotel. People there will know what the camp is.
