I caught another Fossa fossa; like the other
others, the one was scared at once to charge when I approached. His stomach was full; the greater
portion front was unrecognizable but there was one lizard and I suspect they were long
about 1 inches long and fairly long narrow.
The back looked like the under surface of a snake. There are numerous feet and the color was yellowish. The cook said that if he walked on you, that he would make sure where he stepped somewhat. I did for look at central.
I saw one Lemur in the evening as I was setting traps. It attracted my attention
by his roughing bark. He was traveling down hill towards the edge of the forest.
While Fossa fossa is No 126.
