"Hell-Ville, the main town on Nosy Be, was given its deliciously intriguing moniker in honor of a former French governor, Admiral de Hell, and the name couldn’t possibly be less appropriate... a place of volcanic lakes, hilly forests thick with possibility, shockingly lovely beaches and bizarre animals — both on land and below the sea... Lemurs are found only on Madagascar, and they thrive on Nosy Be and neighboring islands. At Lokobe, dark black male lemurs would stop in their foraging and face us with their massive, almost demonically orange eyes. The females had a more golden fur and were curious and unafraid. I understood how a superstitious mind could attribute them to the underworld."
