I have caught 2 specimens of fossa fossa carnivores belonging to Viverridae sub-family viverninae being either "fossa fossa" "viverricula malacensis" I call them "fossa fossa. On the 12th around the anus there was a lot of white globules which when cut with scisors excreted a yellowish liquid; I did not notice any about the globules circled the anus except on the ventral side. The globules were so small and covered with fat. There was exceedingly fat; He had pulled out of one trap (Molly's jump) that was held by the second trap she was somewhat nervous when approached.
