The Malagasy civet (Fossa fossana), also known as the fanaloka, is a small, nocturnal predator found only in Madagascar, and one of the island’s many unique mammals. It’s more closely related to the island’s other endemic carnivores, like the fossa and the ring-tailed vontsira, than to the civets of Africa or Asia. Still, with its long body, short legs, and pointed snout, it looks very much like a classic civet, which is how it earned its common name. |
