🏝️🦎 #Madagascar separated from the supercontinent #Gondwana millions of years ago and developed as an isolated #environment.
The long geological separation allowed unique evolutionary paths for the majority of its native species. Today the #island supports over 100 species of #lemurs and thousands of #plants that exist nowhere else on #Earth.

Zealandia, Earth’s hidden continent, was torn from supercontinent Gondwana in a flood of fire 100 million years ago. A new study reveals that a massive volcanic eruption triggered the breakup of Gondwana and the formation of Zealandia, which is mostly submerged under the Pacific Ocean. The study sheds light on the geologic history and evolution of Zealandia, which was only recognized as a continent in 2017. #Zealandia #Gondwana #LiveScience https://www.livescience.com/planet-earth/geology/zealandia-earths-hidden-continent-was-torn-from-supercontinent-gondwana-in-flood-of-fire-100-million-years-ago
