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.

Beautifully captured Diana. What an unusual looking animal and the tail looks really long. I guess that helps in the trees. Hope you didn't have to get too close, - he looks a little on the mean side! Have a good week ahead

I was reasonably close but ready to bolt.
A formidable and dodgy looking beast..

Have a lovely week, Carol.
