Part 4/7:
The fossa is a significant predator exclusive to Madagascar, classified as a cat-like carnivore. It presents a severe threat to lemurs, particularly when night falls. Unlike ring-tailed lemurs, who thrive in Anja's safer environment, red-fronted brown lemurs coexist with this predator due to their unique survival strategies.
Interestingly, ring-tailed lemurs are known to consume potentially dangerous plants, yet they possess the knowledge to neutralize toxins by consuming specific minerals, showcasing their remarkable adaptability. Their daily rituals often revolve around water sources, leading them through forests to vital spots, while also evading dangers such as the snakes that inhabit their environment.
