Habitat
Range
Wild fossas are losing their forest homes. Lemurs, their main prey, are disappearing due to deforestation. Fossas are killed as pests for preying on domestic chickens.
Our fossas are managed under the European Endangered Species Programme (EEP), which involves coordinated breeding efforts by participating zoos. Transfer of individuals between these zoos is based on genetic compatibility. We hope to eventually breed our fossas and contribute to the continued survival of the species.
