cryptoprocta การใช้
- Primary among these malagasy carnivores is the fossa ( " Cryptoprocta ferox " ), a type of civet despite its feline appearance.
- Also seen in the Anjajavy Forest area is the endangered Fossa ( " Cryptoprocta ferox " ), the largest mammalian carnivore in Madagascar.
- Also the fossa ( " Cryptoprocta ferox " ), Madagascar's largest predator, and the lemurs only predator ( apart from people ).
- As well as lemurs the dry forests are home to the island's largest predator, the fossa ( " Cryptoprocta ferox " ) and some smaller carnivorans.
- The species is sympatric with two other carnivores, the fossa ( " Cryptoprocta ferox " ) and the introduced Indian civet ( " Viverricula indica " ).
- Other mammals include at least 15 species of fossa ( " Cryptoprocta ferox " ), and the Madagascar sucker-footed bat ( " Myzopoda aurita ")
- Lamberton recognized a third species, " Cryptoprocta antamba ", on the basis of a mandible ( lower jaw ) with abnormally broad spacing between the condyloid processes at the back.
- Goodman and colleagues could not locate Lamberton's material of " Cryptoprocta antamba ", but suggested that it was based on an abnormal " C . spelea ".
- In one case, a family of fork-marked lemurs exhibited fossa ( " Cryptoprocta ferox " ) has also been seen attacking fork-marked lemurs, and remains have been found in their scat.
- The fossa ( " Cryptoprocta ferox " ) could present a potential risk if it found an individual lower in the forest canopy, but no confirmation has been presented to indicate that they prey upon ruffed lemurs.
- Together, the fossa and " C . spelea " form the genus " Cryptoprocta " within the family Eupleridae, which also includes the other Malagasy carnivorans the falanouc, the fanalokas, and the Galidiinae.
- In addition to a remarkable density of 17 lemurs species, a total of 57 mammals species have been recorded to date, including the Fossa ( " Cryptoprocta ferox " ), the Falanouc ( " Eupleres goudotii " ) and 13 species of tenrecs.
- "' Giant fossa "'( " Cryptoprocta spelea " ) : The fossil record of Madagascar has yielded the remains of a recently extinct fossa which was about a quarter larger than the living species, making it close to the size of an ocelot.
- Mammals found on the reserve include Madame Berthe's mouse lemur ( " Microcebus berthae " ), which is evaluated as an endangered species by the Fossa ( " Cryptoprocta ferox " ), a cat-like, carnivore and also a vulnerable species.
- Other predators include native Aquila " and the giant Malagasy crowned eagle ( " Stephanoaetus mahery " ), as well as the giant fossa ( " Cryptoprocta spelea " ), previously also preyed on lemurs, perhaps including the giant subfossil lemurs or their subadult offspring.
- Other predators the Malagasy tree boa ( " Boa manditra " ), the Madagascar buzzard ( " Buteo brachypterus " ), and it is thought probably by the Fossa ( " Cryptoprocta ferox " ) as well, since the latter preys on other lemurs.
- In general, few small animals became extinct on Madagascar, except for these rodents, two species of " Plesiorycteropus ", and the shrew tenrec " Microgale macpheei "; in contrast, large animals such as subfossil lemurs, the carnivore " Cryptoprocta spelea ", Malagasy hippopotamuses, " Dipsochelys " tortoises, and " Aepyornis " and " Mullerornis " birds all became extinct around the time that humans arrived.
