So does every Malagasy animal have an insanely long tail, or just the fossa and lemur?

I had never heard of a fossa until the Bronx Zoo added one to its Madagascar exhibit recently. I hope more zoos will exhibit them. I like the enrichment items you provide. They are very creative, and I also like the fact that some of the items give the fossa a chance to experience things that he wouldn't encounter in the wild and that challenge his thinking skills!
