After many requests I have finally added these rainbow ringtails to my shop. They had to be separated into two pieces because of their proportions and paper openings, but I think they make a cute pair. Link: https://www.daughterearth.com/new-products-1 Clickable Link: in stories.

The Eupleridae: The last of the Feliformia suborder,the Eupleridae family.Eupleridae is a family of carnivorans endemic to Madagascar and comprising 10 known living species in seven genera, commonly known as euplerids, Malagasy mongooses or Malagasy carnivorans.All species of the subfamily Euplerinae were formerly classified as viverrids, while all species in the subfamily Galidiinae were classified as herpestids.Recent molecular studies indicate that the 10 living species of Madagascar carnivorans evolved from one ancestor that is thought to have rafted over from mainland Africa 18–24 million years ago. This makes Malagasy carnivorans a clade. They are closely allied with the true herpestid mongooses, their closest living relatives.The fossa and the Malagasy civet are each evolutionarily quite distinct from each other and from the rest of the clade.All Eupleridae are considered threatened species due to habitat destruction, as well as predation and competition from non-native speciesDespite these similarities in the fossil record, the modern Malagasy carnivores are distinctly different, with the Euplerinae and Galidiinae subfamilies bearing similarities with civets and mongooses, respectively.Species in Euplerinae (including the fossa, falanouc, and Malagasy civet) have auditory regions similar to those of viverrids, while those in Galidiinae have auditory regions similar to those of herpestids. Based on this trait,the common ancestor arrived from Africa, probably by rafting, during the late Oligocene or early Miocene (24–18 Mya), though Philippe Gaubert and Veron estimated a divergence date of 19.4 Mya (16.5–22.7 Mya). 8 of the 10 species: Subfamily Euplerinae: 1.Fossa(Cryptoprocta ferox), slide 2. 2.Eastern falanouc(Eupleres goudotii), slide 3. 3.Western falanouc(Eupleres major),slide 4. 4.Malagasy civet(Fossa fossana),slide 5.
