The Malagasy long-tailed civet is a mammal found only on the island of Madagascar, also known as the "fossa".
Fossa is a close relative of the mongoose, the largest predator in Madagascar and the only animal that hunts the lemurs on the island.
Fossa looks a lot like a small brown cougar, but it's not a feline.
Excluding tails, which are the same length as their bodies, they rarely exceed 76 centimeters in length. They weigh between 7 and 14 kilograms on average, and males are a little larger than females.
They mark their territory by spraying moldy secretions from the ** glands.
Fossa has the speed and strength of a cat. They use their retractable claws to embed themselves in the trunk and climb directly to the top of the tree. They can also jump from branch to branch, like monkeys, and can also use their tail as a rudder in the air.
As the largest predator in Madagascar, Fossa has no natural predators other than humans. They were often hunted, trapped, and hunted by the local population, who ate the flesh of the fossa and made amulets and jewels with their teeth and claws. Juvenile fossa matures very slowly and lives with their mothers for more than a year, so females can only reproduce every other year.
