Racine Zoo welcomes carnivorous Madagascar sisters to Vanishing Kingdom
Milana Doné
RACINE — Two new animals have joined the Racine Zoo.
Fosa sisters can now be seen in the zoo's Vanishing Kingdom.
The sisters were born at the Central Florida Zoo, where they spent the first year of their life. Both were premature and needed special veterinary care to survive.
They celebrated their first birthday this spring, and grew enough to move to their new Racine home.
The Racine Zoo renovated the Fosa exhibit to provide ample climbing and fun. The sisters explored their new exhibit the morning of July 31.
The zoo said the sisters have adjusted well, bringing energy and curiosity to their new home. They can be seen climbing branches and play fighting with each other.
Fosa are agile carnivores native to Madagascar and are the largest mammalian carnivore on the island. The species has retractable claws like a cat and a long, slender body similar to a mongoose or civet. They are excellent climbers and spend much of their time in the forest canopy.
Fosa are listed as "vulnerable" by the International Union on the Conservation of Nature because of reduced habitat and numbers found in the wild.
The Racine and Central Florida zoos cooperated to fulfill a recommendation of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums' Species Survival Plan that works to maintain long-term genetic sustainability of threatened and vulnerable species, Racine Zoo said.
