[3] Several locally endemic species such as the endangered Hubbard's or Zombitse sportive lemur (Lepilemur hubbardorum) are known only from the Zombitse-Vohibasia National Park area.

[7] While there are no watercourses, the springs and small wetlands in the park act as a reservoir, feeding the tributaries of the Teheza and the Fiherenana rivers.

[5] "At Zombitse-Vohibasia it is found in the dense underbrush of undisturbed, dry, deciduous forest at about 600-800 m (Morris and Hawkins 1998).

The Nasolo's Shrew Tenrec (Microgale nasoloi) is listed as vulnerable and is known from here and two other sites[4] Other endemic mammals documented here include Fossa (Cryptoprocta ferox)(VU), robust yellow bat (Scotophilus robustus)(NT), Peters's wrinkle-lipped bat (Mormopterus jugularis)(VU)[5] and bastard big-footed mouse Macrotarsomys bastardi (LC).

[9] Thirty-three species of reptile have been documented here, including Standing's day gecko (Phelsuma standingi)(VU).

[13] Other species with the type locality in the Zombitse-Vohibasia National Park are: Botanical inventory of the area now called Zombitse-Vohibasia National Park began with collections by Perrier de la Bâthie in 1910, followed by intensive inventories in the 1950s.

[16] The main landscapes found in the park are forests, woodlands, open grasslands and there are also some limited wetland areas.

[11] The canopy trees of the forests average 10–16 m tall[7] and are primarily members of the families Euphorbiaceae and Fabaceae (e.g. Pongamiopsis pervilleana).

[11] Woodlands form a transition zone between forest and grassland and have scattered patches of shrubs or small trees such as Dicoma incana, Dalbergia sp., Stereosperum euphoroides, Rhopalocarpus lucidus, Fernandoa madagascariensis, and Diospyros sakalavarum.

[11] Wetlands are not extensive, but Ravenea rivularis (Arecaceae) and Pandanus xerophyta (Pandanaceae) can be found in these moister habitats as well as Cyperus spp.

[2] Forested areas have declined significantly, based on comparisons between 1949 and 1994 aerial photographs and the vegetation is thought to be floristically reduced due to fire, grazing and selective browsing.
