Question: Is Austrocedrus bigger than Madagascar?

Austrocedrus is a genus of conifer belonging to the cypress family Cupressaceae.  It has only one species, Austrocedrus chilensis, native to the Valdivian temperate rain forests and the adjacent drier steppe-forests of central-southern Chile and western Argentina from 33°S to 44°S latitude.  It is known in its native area as ciprés de la cordillera or cordilleran cypress, and elsewhere by the scientific name as Austrocedrus, or sometimes as Chilean incense-cedar or Chilean cedar.  The generic name means "southern cedar". <SEP> The Mascarene teal ("Anas theodori"), also known as Sauzier's teal and Mauritian duck, is an extinct dabbling duck that formerly occurred on the islands of Mauritius and Réunion.  It was a small teal of the "Anas gibberifrons" superspecies of the "Anas" subgenus "Nettion".  Its closest relative is probably Bernier's teal from Madagascar and, apart from having stronger wings and being considerably bigger (between a Sunda teal and a mallard in size), it seems to have looked very similar to that species.  Earlier, it was proposed that Meller's duck, also from Madagascar, is the closest living relative of "A. theodori", but as more remains of the latter were unearthed this appears far less likely.  Apart from a few, brief descriptions, not much is known about the bird in life, but its habits probably did not differ significantly from those of its close relatives.  Bones have been found in the Mare aux Songes swamp on Mauritius and more recently on Réunion also.  The scientific name honours Thé́odore Sauzier, who made many bones of extinct birds found on Mauritius available to science. <SEP> The greater bamboo lemur ("Prolemur simus"), also known as the broad-nosed bamboo lemur and the broad-nosed gentle lemur, is the largest bamboo lemur, at over five pounds or nearly 2.5 kilograms.  It has greyish brown fur and white ear tufts, and has a head-body length of around one and a half feet, or forty to fifty centimeters.  They have relatively long tails and long back legs for leaping vertically amongst the trees of their forest habitat .  It feeds almost exclusively on the bamboo species of "Cathariostachys madagascariensis", preferring the shoots but also eating the pith and leaves.  It is unknown how their metabolism deals with the cyanide found in the shoots.  The typical daily dose would be enough to kill humans.  Greater bamboo lemurs occasionally consume fungi, flowers, and fruit.  Its only confirmed predator is the fossa, but raptors are also suspected.  Its current range is restricted to southeastern Madagascar, although fossils indicate its former range extended across bigger areas of the island, including as far north as Ankarana.  Some notable parts of the current range are the Ranomafana and Andringitra National Parks. <SEP>  The nation comprises the island of Madagascar (the fourth-largest island in the world), and numerous smaller peripheral islands.  Following the prehistoric breakup of the supercontinent Gondwana, Madagascar split from the Indian peninsula around 88 million years ago, allowing native plants and animals to evolve in relative isolation. Madagascar ( ; Malagasy: "Madagasikara" ), officially the Republic of Madagascar (Malagasy: "Repoblikan'i Madagasikara" ] ; French: "République de Madagascar" ), and previously known as the Malagasy Republic, is an island country in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of East Africa.  Consequently, Madagascar is a biodiversity hotspot; over 90% of its wildlife is found nowhere else on Earth.  The island's diverse ecosystems and unique wildlife are threatened by the encroachment of the rapidly growing human population and other environmental threats.
