Cryptoprocta ferox, as the fossa is known scientifically, is the largest carnivore unique to Madagascar, and it can reach at least 28 pounds in weight and stretch a full six feet from dog-like snout to tip of long brown tail. Dollar told me there are unsubstantiated reports of fossa up to 44 pounds.
The fossa is the top predator on the island of Madagascar. Fossas have scent glands that release a stinky smell when the animal is irritated or frightened. The modern mongoose and the fossa evolved from the same ancestor, which arrived on Madagascar about 21 million years ago.
