There is a slight problem here: South America and Madagascar have this little continent called Africa between them. Assuming South America and Madagascar were once connected by a land bridge, how did Africa get in between? I think someone is pushing our legs as Chrissie might say.

Just another poorly written article. South America, Africa, Madagascar, and India were all once connected in Gondwanaland. They all split apart, I’ve forgotten the sequence, but I believe Africa-Madagascar was last.

Hmmm. You’re correct. Madagascar is on the other side of Africa from SA.
