The Andrahomana Cave is a complex of sinkholes in Andranobory (Anosy region, near Fort-Dauphin) in south eastern Madagascar.[1][2]
It is remarkable due to the number of fossils of extinct megafauna of the island. It is where were found, among other animals, fossils of the giant lemur Hadropithecus stenognathus,[3][4] the pygmy hippo Hippopotamus lemerlei,[5] and the giant land tortoise Aldabrachelys grandidieri.[6]
