"Madagascar Announces First Swine Flu Death." Web.



Madagascar has just reported the first case of the swine flu. The swine flu infected an eight year girl. This girl had just recently flew to the country the week before. This girl has traveled to many different countries the week before. "The A(H1N1) pandemic has so far killed 1 462 people of 177 457 registered infections across 170 countries, according to the latest figures from the World Health Organisation (WHO). - Sapa-AFP".

I found this sad but yet interesting. It's weird to know that this was actually Madagascar first case of the swine flu. This girl probably got it from all the other countries that she had traveled to. It's also sad because she is 8 years old. I don't know what i would do if i had the swine flu and if i were in a different country and wanted to have a good time.

Madagascar has been departed from Africa since 165 million years ago and since then, a unique array of plants and animals have evolved, including many endemics. Endemics are things that are found nowhere else in the world. Lemurs are only found on the island of Madagascar. From the ring-tailed lemur which are called the indri to the largest living lemur which are the black lemurs. They both eat ripe fruit, leaves, insects and flowers and they both have hairy ears.
