Madagascar
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Madagascar is a large island nation in the Indian Ocean, off the east coast of Africa. Seventeen million people live there; its capital is Antananarivo.
Geologists say that about two million years ago, Madagascar was a part of the African continent, but it broke off and drifted to where it is now.
The island shares its name with the title of a 2005 CGI movie from DreamWorks Pictures.
