This is a typical dry, deciduous forest with sparse understorey and lots of lianas.
In the dry winter season many of the trees have shed their leaves, but in the wet months the forest is a sea of bright greens.
Cuspicuous is the tree with menacing spines, Hura crepitans, which is actually not a native species - it was introduced from Central America.
There are 130 bird species (with highlights like the Van Dam's Vanga, Madagascar fish eagle and white breasted mesite), eight easily seen lemur species and reptiles galore.
