Fossa

How endangered they are?

The Fossa is a highly endangered animal. They have very little hope to live as a species. The number of their population is 2,500.

How unique are they?

They are unique because they climb trees, they use strategy to hunt and they only live in Madagascar and they are the biggest predator on the continent.

Their habitat

The Fossa lives in trees on the island of Madagascar. However, they can also move around on the land.

 What they hunt or eat?

The Fossa is a carnivore. It eats lemurs that are indigenous to Madagascar. They are also the biggest predator on Madagascar and hunt other medium-sized animals.

Human involvement

The locals of Madagascar hunt the Fossa because they think of them as pests and do not value them.  The Fossa has no natural predators but the locals are a big threat and use them for human medicine. I don’t know what is on them that would help the locals besides their meat.  

What you can do:

Although there are people who want to kill them there are people who want to save them too, but they can’t do it themselves. So they need your help to save the Fossa.
