Humans are the most significant predator of lemurs today. Originally, the most notable predator was the fossa, which is also endangered. Other predators of lemurs include boas, hawks, and eagles. There was once giant eagle in Madagascar that may have once hunted them, as well as a giant fossa. Introduced predators include dogs, cats, and the Indian civet.
