  My bad. I was confusing my admittedly old information (drawn from memory) 
with raccoons or somesuch. I cannot find any easily asscessible data to back 
that up. And I was mistaken with the tail, as well (that is drawn from 
confusion with the kinkajou ... ooops). It may actually be the kinkajou, *Potos 
flavus*, so that's my bad. Little wonder though, with the latter being a better 
argument than the fossa, I may have been thinking of it all along.

  Cheers,
