Meet the largest carnivore on Madagascar: the fossa (Cryptoprocta ferox). This close relative of the mongoose feeds on birds, reptiles, and even lemurs. It uses its long tail for balance when chasing prey through the trees. Don’t make this mammal angry: when aggravated, it releases a pungent odor from its scent glands. It also uses scent to mark its territory and possibly to signal reproductive status.
