Click image for enlargement
For its size and tropical location, Madagascar has a limited resident bird fauna of about 250 species, but half of these are endemic-including five endemic families. This is an amazingly high level of endemicity considering how easily birds could fly between Africa and Madagascar. Another endemic family, the flightless giant elephant birds, became extinct within the last few hundred years.The Madagascar Fish Eagle is one of the world's rarest birds of prey, with a total population of less than 100. This eagle is in the same genus as the American Bald Eagle.
