I'm fortunate to be friends with a fossa expert, Luke Dollar, a Research Fellow at Duke University. He's spent a lot of time studying and trapping fossa in Madagascar. He is already in touch with researchers in Borneo. They feel there are more similarities than differences.
The fossa is also very reclusive and difficult to trap. (they like chicken!)
But that's what is so amazing about this site. There's SOMEBODY who knows about every last darn thing in the universe. Bush visits Iraq, someone's there; Earthquake strikes Indonesia, and we've got people from Jakarta to just outside that city in Thailand that got wiped out (forgot its name) to Sri Lanka, to a naval station in the middle of the Pacific Ocean; the Space Shuttle blows up over Texas and we've got reports coming in while it's still over California fretting about it not looking right. So of course, some researchers in the most distant jungles on Earth make a discovery, and someone knows someone who is in contact!
... and those silly fools at CBS think they can put one over on us.. :^)
Fascinating, TC. Does Mr. Dollar believe it was migration that separated them?
From this photo everything looks like the fossa except the ears. Maybe some fossas have opposable thumbs and built a kayak?
