We got to study some pretty engaging animals in the field. This is Boophis septentrionalis. Photo by Mark D. Scherz

The hardest part of field work in remote locations? Getting there. #TheStruggleIsWheel (Photo by @MarkScherz)

A final toast to the expedition with a spot of late night vanilla rum.... And relax. #overandout… https://t.co/oByyzi0JMD

En route to Tana the team crossed the Betsiboka River, which is deep red with sediment & absolutely stunning.

[Expedition Angano @expedangano]

The team have made it back to Antsohihy and will continue south to Tana at first light tomorrow.

[Expedition Angano @expedangano]

Tonight the team are hosting a party in the local village for their cooks, guides, porters and their families, as a massive thank you!

[Expedition Angano @expedangano]

Camp is all cleared away and packed up - not a scrap of rubbish left - and the team have started the 3 hour walk out of forest.

[Expedition Angano @expedangano]

Transect 100 complete! Packing up base camp tomorrow to leave no trace.

[Expedition Angano @expedangano]

More fuel arrived today after having travelled 30km by motorbike and foot, and they managed to get 80 bananas for 80p!

[Expedition Angano @expedangano]

The team have had a busy couple of days dashing around all of the transects before they begin to pack up camp.
