Andaman & Nicobar archipelago is located in the Bay of Bengal represents the highest peaks of an underwater mountain range. It rose from sea floor 38 million years ago and is considered to be an extension of Myanmar’s Arakan range and Sumantran Barisan range. Its geographical isolation from other landmasses for centuries eventually allowed evolution to take its course. Now these islands play host to a absolute treasure trove of endemic wildlife, with most having stronger overall affinity towards the Malayan sub-region than that of the Indian sub-continent.
