As the second fossa to join our Zoo, Riana's arrival represents our continued commitment to conservation efforts and the Species Survival Plan (SSP) for this rare species. Fossas are Madagascar’s largest carnivores, and Riana’s new habitat is designed to mimic her natural environment, featuring plenty of elevated platforms and tunnels to encourage her natural behaviors.
