  1. Hello Tarsier, It would be better & educational if you provide the details of the species & geographical history with small intro. :) Posted 9 years ago, modified 9 years ago

The fossa is a cat-like, carnivorous mammal that is endemic to Madagascar. It is a member of the Eupleridae, a family of carnivorans closely related to the mongoose family. Its classification has been controversial because its physical traits resemble those of cats, yet other traits suggest a close relationship with viverrids.
