Help. These are just beyond cute 😭😭😭
Three rare fossa triplets have emerged from their den after being born at Chester Zoo. The triplets, one male and two female, are the first of their kind to ever be born at the zoo in its 91-year history.
A distant relative of the mongoose, the fossa is a slender, cat-like mammal that’s only found in the forests of Madagascar. The rare carnivore is equipped with a long tail that helps it balance when leaping amongst the tree branches, as well as large eyes that help it to see better at night when hunting for prey such as lemurs, wild pigs and mice.
Rachael Boatwright, Zookeeper at the conservation zoo, said: “The fossa is one of the world’s most elusive carnivores and little is currently known about how they live in the wild. In the forests of Madagascar, the fossa moves swiftly through trees, so much so that conservationists have trouble researching and observing them in the wild. Experts working with the species at the zoo hope to gain valuable insights into their behaviours – all while fighting to protect their forest home.
