A few years ago in the vicinity of the capital the French family settled, opening their own restaurant here. And add to it the piquancy decided by creating a crocodile farm, unique in its kind in Madagascar. Its main inhabitants here also become the main dish.
In general, several species of crocodiles are bred on the farm. All of them later fall into the kitchen of the restaurant, and their skin goes on the manufacture of belts, bags and shoes. Crocodile meat in a local restaurant is prepared in a variety of ways, up to the individual wishes of the client.
In addition to the main inhabitants of the farm, there are also lemurs, ostriches, several species of parrots, a couple of fosses. Between themselves they are separated by separate enclosures, and are not used for food. In addition, there are terrariums with frogs, geckos and chameleons.
