Eupleridae is a family of carnivorous mammals found exclusively in Madagascar. This family includes several species, such as the fossa, which is the largest predator on the island. Euplerids are known for their diverse adaptations, allowing them to occupy various ecological niches. Members of the Eupleridae family exhibit a range of sizes and behaviors, from the small ring-tailed mongoose to the larger fossa. They primarily feed on small mammals, birds, and reptiles, playing a crucial role in the ecosystem as predators. Their unique evolutionary history makes them an important subject of study in conservation biology.
