Long-tailed Ground Roller // Rolieiro-da-terra-rabilongo

            (Uratelornis chimaera)
Spiny Forest Ifaty
Madagascar

Unlike other Ground Rollers that inhabit rainforests, this one occurs only in the Spiny Forest in a very limited area around Ifaty. It's no wonder, therefore, that it has the status of Vulnerable!

The Spiny Forest is an unique ecoregion in southern Madagascar, with a nutrient-poor, sandy substrate, and little, unpredictable rainfall. Its vegetation, almost entirely endemic, consists of thorny trees and shrubs, along with some succulents ones, including the famous and stunning baobabs.
