You're next

This is one of those scenes to remember. In my excitement to photograph a spectacular showing of this fossa trying to master some chicken legs on a chord, I found myself isolated from the group and way too close to this fossa. At the blink of a second, it was done with the chicken legs and turned its attention to me. It came running at me with the determination seen in the above shot, whilst bystanders were shouting "careful!".

I figured running doesn't exactly help in such a situation so I just froze and awaited my faith. A few metres before reaching me, the fossa slowed down and sniffed the air. It probably then decided I stink too much, and turned around.

Thank you for letting me live another day, dear Fossa.
