The fossa (pron.: /ˈfɒsə/ or /ˈfuːsə/;[4] Malagasy [ˈfusə̥]; Cryptoprocta ferox) is a cat-like, carnivorous mammal that is endemic to Madagascar. It is a member of the Eupleridae, a family of carnivorans closely related to the mongoose family (Herpestidae). Its classification has been controversial because its physical traits resemble those of cats, yet other traits suggest a close relationship with viverrids (most civets and their relatives). Its classification, along with that of the other Malagasy carnivores, influenced hypotheses about how many times mammalian carnivores have colonized the island. With genetic studies demonstrating that the fossa and all other Malagasy carnivores are most closely related to each other (forming a clade, recognized as the family Eupleridae), carnivorans are now thought to have colonized the island once around 18 to 20 million years ago.
The fossa is the largest mammalian carnivore on the island of Madagascar and has been compared to a small cougar. Adults have a head-body length of 70--80 cm (28--31 in) and weigh between 5.5--8.6 kg (12--19 lb), with the males larger than the females. It has semi-retractable claws and flexible ankles that allow it to climb up and down trees head-first, and also support jumping from tree to tree. The fossa is unique within its family for the shape of its genitalia, which share traits with those of cats and hyenas.

The fossa is unique within its family for the shape of its genitalia, which share traits with those of cats and hyenas.
The species is widespread, although population densities are usually low. It is found solely in forested habitat, and actively hunts both by day and night. Over 50% of its diet consists of lemurs, the endemic primates found on the island; tenrecs, rodents, lizards, birds, and other animals are also documented as prey. Mating usually occurs in trees on horizontal limbs and can last for several hours. Litters range from one to six pups, which are born blind and toothless (altricial). Infants wean after 4.5 months and are independent after a year. Sexual maturity occurs around three to four years of age, and life expectancy in captivity is 20 years. The fossa is listed as "Vulnerable" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). It is generally feared by the Malagasy people and is often protected by their taboo, known as fady. The greatest threat to the species is habitat destruction.

Lemur behavior is as variable as lemur morphology. Differences in diet, social systems, activity patterns, locomotion, communication, predator avoidance tactics, breeding systems, and intelligence levels help define lemur taxa and set individual species apart from the rest. Although trends frequently distinguish the smaller, nocturnal lemurs from the larger, diurnal lemurs, there are often exceptions that help exemplify the unique and diverse nature of these Malagasy primates.

The ischioanal (formerly known as ischiorectal) fossae are hard to get your head around in 2D, but it's a breeze in 3D.
Learn the relations to the pelvic floor, the pelvic organs, and the raison d'être of the fossae themselves.
*****
In order to appreciate better the
space that is the ischioanal fossa,
let's first get our bearings.
Here we have the pelvis, which I'm going
to make a sagittal cut through.
This reveals the 3 organs of the female
pelvis - bladder, uterus, and rectum,
which becomes the anal canal.
The muscles of the pelvic floor support
these organs like a hammock. The ischio-
anal fossae is directly lateral to levator
ani here. It contains mostly fat, and
thus acts as a kind of cushion,
surrounding the hammock.
In this model, we've scraped out
all of the fat which fills it.
So this opening here, is the IAF.
And it's one of those areas of anatomy
that is quintessentially hard to grasp in
2D. In 3D it becomes much easier.
The space is shaped like a wedge,
Like this.
I'll bring in the pubic bone for
orientation.
I hope that geometry makes sense to you.
Let's bring in the medial wall, which
is levator ani.
Now we see that the space exists
between the bowl-shaped
pelvic floor and the bony pelvis.
As I mentioned, it is filled with fat.
The cushioning allows the anal canal to
expand during defecation.
As always in anatomy, the form reflects
function.
Let's round out the boundaries now,
The lateral wall is a bit of bone,
obturator internus
Floor is deep perineal fascia
Post wall sacrotuberous ligament,
and some part of gluteus maximus.
Now - this view may look more familiar
to you. This is the version we tend
to see in med school, and if you imagesearch
ischioanal fossae this is what appears.
I hope now that the dimensions of the
space make sense to you.
If you'd like to navigate around this
model yourself, hit the link in the video

Madagascar is an island located in the Indian Ocean inhabited by only creatures whose origin is still unknown. Lemurs are the most representative animals of Madagascar.
▶ SUBSCRIBE! http://bit.ly/PlanetDoc Full Documentaries every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday!
▶ Documentary "Madagascar. The Children of Lemuria" http://pdoc.es/MadagascarPL
There is a beautiful legend which speaks of the South Atlantis, the sunken continent of Lemuria. There, there were dense ancient jungles inhabited by beings different from any others ever known; unique creatures which arose in an independent world, isolated from the rest of the continents.
There, the reptiles still ruled over the land, the plants acquired surprising forms, and in the thicket, hidden in the shadows of the jungle, lived strange men, silent, graceful ghosts, relatives of our own species, which were given the generic name of lemurs, the most emblematic inhabitants of Lemuria. But isolated in the Indian Ocean, a fragment of that fabulous continent remained; a solitary island where the animals would jealously guard the secrets of their origins, a refuge for a wildlife that would later astonish the world: Madagascar.
The sifaka is a member of an extraordinary, unique zoological group. They are lemurs, pro-simians. The very name, a Roman word referring to spectres, gives an idea of the mystery and legend they inspired among naturalists and zoologists from all over the world, before they were able to define their taxonomy.
The zoologist Philip Lutley Sclater suggested the legend in 1874, and Wegener’s theory of continental drift once and for all destroyed the legend of the southern continent. But despite the fact Lemuria was revealed as simply a myth, the great doubts concerning its origin did not end with the theories of Wegener. Because the strange independent beings of the island of Madagascar stubbornly refused to conform to preconceived zoological models.
Sclater himself drew the attention of the scientific world to the peculiarities of the creatures of Madagascar. There, the animals bore no similarities to those of the nearby continent of Africa.
While the species of the world competed in a no-holds-barred evolutionary race, Madagascar developed at its own pace.
Here the hunters and their prey changed more slowly, away from the influences of new, much more specialised species which natural selection was creating in the different continents. And in Madagascar the distant world of the Triassic remained latent, producing a parallel evolution which generated the island’s extraordinary zoology.
Reptiles and invertebrates must have been the most common living beings in what is now Madagascar when it became independent from the continental lands, as at that time the earth was ruled over by the dinosaurs.
The legacy of those days remains alive here, on the island of Madagascar, where there are over 300 known species of reptiles, of which almost 90% are endemic. These little dragons which today divide between them the different habitats of Madagascar indicate, however, that the children of Lemuria hold the secret of their origins.

Lemurs are primitive primates known as pro-simians, or pre-monkeys. They live in large female-dominated family groups, in sharp contrast to most other male-dominated primate societies. Native only to the island of Madagascar, lemurs resemble the oldest ancestors of primates.
Lemurs, and most of the wildlife on Madagascar, have been isolated for tens of millions of years. In fact, 80% of the wildlife found here exists no where else on earth. When man first arrived in Madagascar about 2000 years ago from Indonesia, he hunted lemurs for food. The largest species, including one the size of a gorilla, are now extinct. Of the 53 varieties of lemurs known to exist here, we were able to film during our three week visit.

As Alice’s two cubs grow they also start to become more "bush-wise" and alert to the dangers they face. Although mum is still very much responsible for their care and feeding, she often leaves them to fend for themselves whilst she goes further afield in search of suitable prey. Now that the cubs are becoming more bold, and more eager to explore their surroundings, they must also learn survival techniques, especially when hungry hyenas are around! Fortunately, from a very early age, leopards learn that tree climbing is a good way to avoid trouble... though getting back to earth again might take a little more practice!
It is a continuing treat to watch this leopard family as they successfully face life’s challenges..!

Leopards mating in the Kruger National Park
WikiPedia description:
Depending on the region, leopards may mate all year round. In Manchuria and Siberia, they mate during January and February. The estrous cycle lasts about 46 days and the female usually is in heat for 6–7 days.[70] Gestation lasts for 90 to 105 days.[71] Cubs are usually born in a litter of 2–4 cubs.[72] But mortality of cubs is estimated at 41–50% during the first year.[54]
Females give birth in a cave, crevice among boulders, hollow tree, or thicket to make a den. Cubs are born with closed eyes, which open four to nine days after birth.[47] The fur of the young tends to be longer and thicker than that of adults. Their pelage is also more gray in color with less defined spots. Around three months of age, the young begin to follow the mother on hunts. At one year of age, leopard young can probably fend for themselves, but remain with the mother for 18–24 months.[40]
The average typical life span of a leopard is between 12 and 17 years.[73] The oldest recorded Spotted Leopard was a female named Roxanne living in captivity at McCarthy’s Wildlife Sanctuary in The Acreage, Palm Beach County, Florida. She died August 8, 2014 at the age of 24 years, 2 months and 13 days. This has been verified by the Guinness World Records.[74] Previously, the oldest recorded Leopard was a female named Bertie living in captivity in Warsaw Zoo. She died in December 2010 at the age of 24.[75] The oldest recorded male Leopard was Cezar, who reached the age of 23. He also lived at Warsaw Zoo and was Bertie's lifelong companion.[76]

Hyenas is the Badass females in the animal kingdom | WILD NATURE.
Spotted hyena society is matriarchal; females are larger than males and dominate them. The spotted hyena is a highly successful animal, being the most common large carnivore in Africa. Its success is due in part to its adaptability and opportunism; it is primarily a hunter but may also scavenge, with the capacity to eat and digest skin, bone and other animal waste. In functional terms, the spotted hyena makes the most efficient use of animal matter of all African carnivores.
