Ayahuasca Fossa


Listen Later

Ayahuasca Fossa is my very first Drum and Bass Track. It's always something I've wanted to do, and I finally had the will power to just sit down and do it. I'm extremely proud of it, and it has opened up a door to many new opportunities in this BPM range. One of the aspects I didn't like about Drum and Bass in the past was how repetitive it was, especially at such a fast, and chaotic tempo. The saving grace for my style was the ensure that I go in and out of half-time which truly adds a significant dynamic to my work, and changes the vibe entirely.
I recently discovered the Fossa a couple months back. I was confused as to what exactly it is, as far as a species. Is it a cat? Is it a dog? Is it a ferret? I wouldn't be surprised if it was either of them, which truly makes this beast quite the marvel beast.
The fossa (Cryptoprocta ferox) isn’t a cat, dog, or weasel. It’s a Malagasy carnivore in the Eupleridae family, making it closest to mongooses.
Endemic to Madagascar and the island’s largest mammalian carnivore, it evolved cat-like traits independently, which is why it looks so feline.
Lemurs are its signature prey, and it’s the only predator on the island that can reliably take down the biggest lemur species.
It’s a ridiculous climber, using a tail nearly as long as its body for balance, semi-retractable claws, and flexible ankles that let it race up or come down trees headfirst.
Activity isn’t locked to one time of day; fossas hunt in daylight and at night.
Females show a rare quirk called transient masculinization when young, developing an enlarged, spiny clitoris with a small bone that later regresses. (Giggity)
Conservation status is Vulnerable due to forest loss, with a rough global estimate of only about 2,600 to 8,600 individuals left. (That's a pretty big gap) lol
