I rarely deploy a camera in any kind of zoo, but this opportunity was too good to miss.
In addition to the island’s glorious natural attractions (they include the Indian Ocean’s highest peak, a host of endemic species, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, and one of its rainiest locations) Réunion has an excellent aquarium.
i am almost certain that this post’s hero is a hawksbill turtle.
Suggestion 1: If you visit Madagascar, be sure to visit Réunion too.
Suggestion 2: if – on your way to or from Madagascar – you are planning to spend however many days in Mauritius, change your plans and better-spend them in Réunion.
