Fosa
After two shaky days in a taxi-brousse, even sleeping a whole night in one while waiting for it to fill up, I toured Kirindi NR like a zombie - eyelids too heavy to have my eyes open all the time. Nevertheless, I walked British-ready and did wake up when a very curious fosa came out of the bushes.
Fosa is the largest predator in Madagascar. It's feared and regarded as villain in many folk stories, not to mention the famous western cartoon everybody but us has managed to see. But as this mini-puma nearly sniffed our toes, Shurik fell in love. Even if you ask him now, he will go all puppy-eyed going back to the memory of this fosa's whiskers.
