The text describes the fossa as Madagascar's top predator, the only animal that hunts lemurs, capable of moving swiftly through trees, and having a cathemeral activity pattern.
Infact verdict: Mostly True (62/100).

However, the claim that the fossa is the only animal that hunts lemurs is misleading, as other predators also hunt lemurs. The fossa's ability to move swiftly through trees is a well-documented characteristic.
