Overview. Madagascarâs answer to a puma, the fossa is an unusual-looking mammal with both feline and canine features. It is the islandâs largest mammalian carnivore, and preys mostly on lemurs, which it pursues through the trees with great speed and agility.
An extinct relative of the fossa was described in 1902 from subfossil remains and recognized as a separate species, Cryptoprocta spelea, in 1935. This species was larger than the living fossa (with a body mass estimate roughly twice as great), but otherwise similar.Across Madagascar, people distinguish two kinds of fossaâa large fosa mainty (black fossa) and the smaller fosa mena (reddish fossa)âand a white form has been reported in the southwest.he fossa is listed as  Vulnerable  by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. It is generally feared by the Malagasy people and is often protected by their fady (taboo). The greatest threat to the species is habitat destruction.
