Distribution

Distribution and ecology

This species is endemic to Madagascar (Wilson, 2005).

Habitat

Cryptoprocta ferox inhabit a variety of regions from coastal lowlands to mountainous areas of up to 2600m but are usually only found inhabiting forested areas. They may be found passing through non-forested habitat (Hawkins 2008).

They are terrestrial and arboreal (Hawkins 2008) - they are excellent climbers and extremely agile when moving through trees (Nowak 2005).

Nutrition

Cryptoprocta ferox was originally thought to prey exclusively on lemurs, but is now known to have a varied and opportunistic diet. It is adept at hunting both on the ground and in the trees (Goodman et al. 2004). They feed on:

  • smaller mammals (including lemurs up to around 3kg)
  • birds
  • insects
  • amphibians
  • reptiles

(Hawkins, 2008; Nowak, 2005).
