The Fossa


The fossa is a cat-like carnivore on Madagascar. The fossa preys on small animals like lemurs, rodents and reptiles. They hunt at night for their food. Fossas are interesting creatures.

Aye-Aye


Madagascar is the only island that has aye-ayes in the world. An aye-aye is a mammal in the lemur family that lives in the rain forest of Madagascar. It spends most of its time in trees. An Aye-aye has large eyes, black hair, big ears and a long, bushy tail. They are threatened by fossas, which are cat like animals. Did you know that an aye-aye's middle finger is long so it can tap on a tree and get bugs to eat? An aye-aye is a very interesting animal.
