	Tracking the Fossa, Africa's Elusive Island Predator (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		But other fossa features hint at the animal's nonfeline nature: a snout like a dog's, "a long tail it uses like a trapeze artist's pole," and the ability to "fly" through the trees with agility of a squirrel (despite weighing more than a cocker spaniel), for example.
		Genetic testing has revealed that, regardless of appearances, the fossa is a close cousin of the mongoose, and a member of the viverrid family, which also includes meerkats, civets, and genets.
		The fossa was described in the 1800s by colonial-era explorers, "but despite sitting at the top of the food chain in one of the world's top-priority hot spots for biodiversity, there has been a total dearth of information about it," Dollar said.

		Cryptoprocta ferox, as the fossa is known scientifically, is the largest carnivore unique to Madagascar, and it can reach at least 28 pounds in weight and stretch a full six feet from dog-like snout to tip of long brown tail.
		The fossa is a keystone species, meaning if it disappears, so might a host of creatures that lie beneath it on the food chain.
		Later, Dollar planned to take the fossa, which would not come fully out of sedation for a few hours, to a large enclosure that Neil Shaw and his Malagasy crew built in the forest.

		The roof of the fossa is mainly the temporal fossa, but note that the infratemporal fossa is somewhat deeper than the temporal fossa so that a small bony roof, formed mainly by the spheroid, can be identified.
		The infratemporal fossa contains the pterygoid muscles, the maxillary artery and its branches, the pterygoid venous plexus, and branches of the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve.
		The chorda tympani nerve arises as a branch of the facial nerve in the petrous portion of the temporal bone.

	MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Posterior fossa tumor
		Posterior fossa tumor is an abnormal growth located in or near the posterior fossa (a depression on the interior, back portion of the base of the skull, near the cerebellum part of the brain).
		Most tumors of the posterior fossa are primary brain cancers, which originate in the brain, rather than spreading from elsewhere in the body.
		The posterior fossa itself is a small, confined space, and any growth there can block the flow of spinal fluid and cause increased pressure on the brain and spinal cord.

	eMedicine - Posterior Fossa Tumors : Article by Ayman Ali Galhom, MD, PhD
		This is, primarily, because of the limited space within the posterior fossa and the potential involvement of vital brain stem nuclei.
		The diagnostic role of tumor markers is less crucial in the posterior cranial fossa than in other regions of the body because of the ability of MRI to clearly visualize distinctive characteristics, such as cysts.
		CT scanning: CT scan of the posterior fossa is inferior to MRI in diagnostic value because of the artifact produced from the surrounding thick bone.

		The fossa is the largest carnivore in Madagascar and superficially resembles an elongate cat in appearance.
		The tail is almost as long as the slender, muscular body, and the fossa's coat is short and reddish-brown in colour.
		One of the more unique peculiarities of the fossa is the fact that adolescent females go through a 'masculinisation' phase during their development; the clitoris becomes enlarged and covered in spines thus resembling the male penis, and there is an orange secretion on their underbelly which is usually only seen in mature males.

		Figures on fossa weights, for instance, tend to be based on zoo specimens and therefore exaggerated, and the fossa diet is only dimly understood.
		Unfortunately, we still don't know how many fossa there are, exactly how they hunt and breed in the wild (though a fossa pair was filmed mating in a tree this past year), or how habitat losses are affecting their numbers.
		Most biologists, noting the shape of the fossa's skull and its low-slung body, now classify it as a member of the mongoose family But for years it was classified as a feline because of its catlike molars and overall shape.
