Lokasi yang layak dicek
- Forest edge, canopy gaps, fruiting trees, or shaded trails where cover and food meet
- Headlands, reef edges, island colonies, tidal channels, or productive coastal water
- Protected habitat blocks within madagascar
Tips spotting
- Start early, pick one strong patch of habitat, and stay long enough for movement to return after you arrive.
- Work edges, clearings, fruiting trees, and stream crossings rather than walking randomly through dense cover.
- Slow down and scan shapes, outlines, and eye-level silhouettes; many good sightings come from noticing what does not move.
Apa yang dimakan Fossa?
