Madagascar’s largest land predator, the Fossa (Cryptoprocta ferox). This receptive female has climbed a tall tree where she waits for a male who is able to join her on one of the upper branches. Reaching her isn’t always an easy task for the males, which are considerably larger and heavier, and they often face fierce competition when attempting to do so. Kirindy Reserve, Madagascar.
