If you are a botanist, you are welcome to the home of palms in Masoala: ''Satranala decusilvae'', ''Dypsis carlsmithii'' (Stumpy Palm), ''Ravenea sambiranensis'' and ''Lemurophoenix halleuxii''. Before we go back to the shoreline we cross the terretories of the Helmet vanga and Madagascar serpent eagle.
