Relaxing
I came upon this Fossa in this pose at the San Diego Zoo this morning.
First time I've seen one do this and the first time I have ever gotten a decent shot of one of these elusive creatures.
Here is a description of Fossa from wikipedia:
The fossa (Cryptoprocta ferox) is a cat-like, carnivorous mammal endemic to Madagascar. It is a member of the Eupleridae, a family of carnivorans closely related to the mongoose family (Herpestidae).
Adults have a head-body length of 70–80 cm (28–31 in) and weigh between 5.5 and 8.6 kg (12 and 19 lb)
