Fossa (Gore warning!)

[Mattis]

Fossas are amazing critters. And they are not very well known, too. When most people think of Madagascar they think of the different kinds of lemurs but not the biggest predator of the island. Which is sad because the fossas are just as endangered as the lemurs.

These shots were taken through glass and their enclosure is pretty dim to simulate their natural habitat. As such these shots are not the sharpest photos I have ever taken and the colors could be better. But they still work well enoug in my opinion
