Madagascar is a land where lizards scream and monkey-like lemurs sing songs of inexpressible beauty. It is a place where creatures you may never have heard of?fossa and tenrecs, vangas and aye ayes?thrive in a true ?Lost World\' along with bizarre plants like the octopus tree and the three-cornered palm. And where the ancestors of the Malagasy, as the island\'s people are known, come alive in rollicking ceremonies known as ?turning the bones.? Join Peter Tyson on a diverting odyssey with four scientists investigating the fascinating natural and cultural mysteries of this extraordinary land.
