- FOSSA- Amazing Predator
The Fossa or the Cryptoprocta feroxas (which is what the scientifically smart people call it), is the largest carnivore on the island Madagascar. Even though it eats the most popular animal that comes from that island, the lemurs, it still needs our attention and protection so that this important predator can continue to roam the 4th largest island in the world.

“Here’s a lemur, to us it may be cute. To a fossa, it’s lunch.” 😂
so true
Lol that little dude was just chillin 🤣
I hope the fossa doesnt become extinct.
THE FOSSA
THE FOSSA ARE COMING
Kai.Hman You mean "Is" coming?
Blue_Lugia Kai is just saying the line from the animated movie Madagascar.
It's pronounced "foosah".
+Max Ambush /ˈfɒsə/ or /ˈfuːsə/
nope foo sa
but spelled fossa
No it inst
Say it: FOSS-uh or FOOSE-uh
The actual pronunciation for this animal is foo-saa
you are correct.
not correct......

red nax Watch madagascar ;p
Orenji Dubstep Madagascar, although I absolutely love it, is a cartoon for children, and it may not be accurate. Another thing is they spell it "Fusa" instead of "Fossa" Either way, the scientific name is Cryptoprocta Ferox, which is very odd. I like to pronounce the common name as "Foh-sa", that sounds better to me. Regardless of pronunciation, this animal is gorgeous and amazing, and I had no idea it even existed until today. I learn something everyday. :)
Its wut best dots for u
Before humans arrived on Madagascar 2,000 years ago (during the Roman era), there were giant fossa, as well as lemurs the size of gorillas, crocodiles, giant tortoises (like the one in the Seychelles and in the Galapagos-note: Malagasy giant tortoises did not disappear until Europeans arrived), and the elephant bird, the heaviest bird that ever lived, and was up to 10 feet tall, which only disappeared a few hundred years ago. Moral of the story, humans kill megafauna, and now we're sad.
the latest research says the first colonizers arrived closer to 10kya, so it wasn't just the presence of humans but probably some change in human behavior and/or a more recent influx of many more.
@@mikekings5265 it wasn't the europeans that arrived on the island before the faunal collapse.
Thank you for giving me ideas for other animals to google :) it's a shame humans have driven so many fascinating animals to extinction.
yeah this is about NOW
The first human colony of Madagascar actually lived in harmony with the nature (they were called "Vazimba" originally from South Asia). But It is the spanish and the second wave of pple from South Asia-Africa are the one to blame.
"THE FOSSA!!!!! THE FOSSA!!!!!! THE FOSSA ARE ATTACKING!!!!!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!"
MADAGASCARR!!!
Fossa are NOT scary...they are ADORABLE and THAT'S EXACTLY how they get their pray! First..they act all CUTE and SHY but then...once the prey gets closet...ITATTACKS LEAVING NOT A SINGLE TRAIL OF BLOOD DRINKING EVERY SINGLE DROP AND THEN they act like nothing happened...so like I said.. they are NOT scary XD
What a fucking ignorant comment. Precisely ignorance like yours which will doom all these animals. Idiot.
@@a1ici4444 Are they trainable ?.
@@paulhampton6408 Possibly.
Evolution is amazing. Through evolution, it becomes possible for two different kind of animals, that are not even distantly related like fossas and cats, to look all but identical, just because they fill an identical niche.
Mike Vizioz Its called convergence theory.
Mike Vizioz Actually, both fossas and cats belong to the feliforma (cat-like) genus, which belongs itself to the larger carnivora genus(The one feature that all carnivora have in common are the presence of carnasial teeth). Mongooses, hyenas, cats, fossas, and some others all belong to feliforma. So cats and fossas are in fact VERY MUCH distantly related. However fossas are more closely related to mongooses.
A better example of amazing convergent evolution would be how hyenas are part of the feliforma genus, although they look closer to dogs, which are part of the caniforma genus(The other great branch of the carnivora family). While hyenas are again more closely related to mongooses than anything, they are more closely related to cats than they are to dogs. They fill in the same niche as dogs however.
Salvus967 I don't know why you started your post with the word "Actually" because you didn't contradict anything I said and I don't disagree with anything you said hehe
+Mike Vizioz
"not even distantly related like fossas and cats"
Actually, his post contradicted what you said. Although neither feliforma or carnivora is a "genus" as he called them. One is a suborder and the other is an order. His point still stands, which is that the two are pretty closely related.
+tm2jetfire I think you're being a little too pedantic considering "distantly" is not defined by the OP. He said he agreed with the response, so his "distant" isn't as far as the respondent's. So, no, it doesn't contradict what he said.
The king of all Madagascar is Mufossa.
I didn't realize people hated the Fossa so much. I have never heard anyone call an animal "evil" just for being born a carnivore. It seems about as carnivorous as a lion and people like those.
@Merlin Snek people called the Thylacine (Tasmanian Tiger) evil, now they are all gone 😭
There right you know we gotta keep these fascinating creatures alive to learn more about them.
“Foosah hungry Foosah eat”
The Foosah.
THE FOSSA THE FOSSA ARE ATTACKING AAAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
The FOSSA!!! the fossa are attacking!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!
The Fossa are attacking!!!!!!
Thanks for watching. It actually moves around like a mongoose or any other little mammal on 4 legs. Interesting little things.
Scary animal first time in 26 years seeing it.
I've seen that Fassa before! Love that zoo!
The Fossa n the Tarsier are my 2 fav animals😎!
Agreed!
Wonderful the endemic species of Madagascar:). Real beauty predator
Wtf, the fossa is way cuter than lemurs.
You from animal jam?😂
Tony See this is why fossas live alone humans are evil
Both bite
@geekylie Thank you for watching the video!
I'm here because of 9gag. ^^
Fossas are probably what the cat and dogs most recent ancestor looked like.
glad you found this video. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful indeed.
this guys voice is _____________
His voice
dg31 I kind of wondered if he recorded this drunk.
Thank you for the video. I'm Malagasy (from Madagascar) but I've never seen a fosa in the wild. I really like animals, the nature. Unfortunately, fosa is an endangered animal.
Hopefully Madagascar has a lot of natural habitat preserved for these wonderful, unique animals to live in away from humans.
Thanks I now know what a Fossa is - never heard of them before - great channel
What an amazing looking animal!
DUDE..those things are BA. thank you for the vid
Favorite animals of all time is the Fossa and the Tarsier😍!
Amazing animal!!!!!!
A favorite animal of mine. LOVE them.
I saw a fossa in folly farm zoo. Did you know that fossas pace back and forth when excited or bored?
I do love your videos though, very informative and good job with the narrations :) Keep up the good work!
Mac OS X Fossa
It's pronounced as" Fooosa " haven't you ever watched Madagascar smeh -_-
No, the correct spelling is Fossa.
Joyce Ismael he means the pronunciation
this is my FAV new animal - thank you for this video!!! :)
I just saw this interesting animal at the Cleveland Zoo. It had a big hamster wheel to exercise on.
Really like the type of information you gave us! Its amazing how feline it looks despite of his evolutionary roots. It means that that animal shape is a winning one
is the narrator being held at gunpoint
Wow, these things are frickin' cool!
fossabear
wonderful animal
VERY interesting predator, one of amazing examples of convergent evolution in which genetically distant creatures become remarkably similar in shapes and functions. This creature , like clouded leopards, seems to possess powerful, stocky forearms for its size but may be with a bit longer muzzle(related to the number of teeth) and back than cats of the same size. I believe that arcaic feline species such as Proailurus might have looked exactly like this fossa.
Thanks for an educational video.
beautiful animal
I think they're cute! I love lemurs, but I am also fascinated by the animals that prey on them.
I love Fossas. I saw then in the movie Madagaskar for the first time.
Beautiful animal
yeah
they look so cute!
It looks like somthing in the mongoose family mated with a cat o.0 aww its cute though :)
Wow, great video, thank you for the education...
Fossa is tiger? I love fossa so beautiful
@MrDarkcatify yes, but not very well.
I love this video, it has great information and is very informative while not demonizing the anilmal you are talking about. In an unrelated note, that cat face at the end on the fossa. . . . . . lol
@briczar22 Asante, Rafiki. Thank you, dear friend.
c'est bizards mais la personne qui la fait bravo
@briczar22 what benfites the world would get from prdiators i dont really get it if u could explain would be help full thx.
*Fossa is nice* !.
mee to
@1gun1shot1kill -Yeah lately i have been hearing Foo-Sa more..oh well. either way, its a cool animal
The whosa?
I never knew these existed till today. wow...
same
You have to put down the Xbox and go outside man. Clock is a tickn’
the fossa is one of my favorite animal
Fosa? I thought it was pronounced as Fusa. Well, anyway in our country a common cat is called Pusa in our language.
you are correct.. fusa (Fuuusa) is how it is pronounced more so than the way I did.
still is
possible to bring it back, though
The Fossa are attacking!! XD
So Fossagood!
@briczar22 yeah, me too.
FOSSA ARE GRACEFUL AND BEAUTIFUL ANIMALS
Thank you 9gag.
Wow. I really enjoyed this.
What a beautiful animal!
this is my first time hering about this one.it has a cool name to, fossa.
this guy says funny things in the most serious way
Nice tail.
the fossa at the end look just as impressed as Mc Keyla.
@lastsaracen or both, it closely resembles the ancestor to carnivoras (dogs, cats, weasels, bears etc...)
Damn, that tail
Gasp! The Fossa! (Lemur's scatter)
Do what you gotta do man, great video though. I saw a fossa on a random animal doco ages ago but didn't know what it was, just spent ages lookin it up online. Cheers!
beautiful animal. Great video.
I subbed
thanks so much!!!
i thought they were FOOSA!
lol
madagascar ftw
Actually the fossa is the biggest mammalian carnivore on the island. The
biggest overall carnivore in Madagascar is the Nile crocodile.
ah yes..the big ole Nile Crocodile. Thanks.
Is there any info on owning one? I've been looking for an Ocelot but my state (Arizona) won't allow me to own larger wild cats :( I've never heard of these until today! They are amazing
Please save the beautiful fossa
Are there any protective measures being taken to help save/preserve these guys?
protecting the forest habitat will protect the Fossa, but their populations are dropping. There are some conservation groups trying to protect the forest.
Cute
It might not look much like cat, but its body language is amazingly cat-like.
That's one of my favorite animals. I've been to Africa but not Madagascar.
FOSSA RULES
I just knew about this animal while watching Madagascar (2005) !!
cat, ferret, dog = FOSSA ;)
jaguarundi?
I LOVE FASSAS
Where can I get one? On E bay.
How about a video about Hyenas?
You forgot something briczar22! The fossa have a really long tail!
