Fossa...(Cryptoprocta ferox)...in the wild

Fossa...(Cryptoprocta ferox)...in the wild
The apex predator in Madagascar. About the size of a medium dog, with razor sharp claws and teeth. It rapidly climbs trees, and eats lemurs. It takes the place in the food chain of the large cats in Africa, or the dingo in Australia. It is in a species of its own as it is such a unique animal...sort of a dog/cat mix! Quite endangered.
