In the primary forest many species can be seen. Tampolo is known to be the perfect place to observe the [[Red ruffed lemur ]] (''Varecia rubra''), which can be found only on the Masoala peninsula. With a bit of luck, one might also see the [[Helmet Vanga vanga]] (''Euryceros prevostii''), a bird that can be easily recognised by its large electric blue beak, or the nocturnal Aye-aye (''Daubentonia madagascariensis''), which is with no doubt the strangest mammal on Madagascar. Amongst the reptiles are numerous geckos and chameleons, indcluding the tiny ''Brookesia perrieri'' that fits in the palm of a hand.
