The Fossa
Do you remember in the movie Madagascar the line "the fossa are attacking!" ? Well if you did you may be asking what the hell is a fossa?
This my friends, is the Fossa. Fossa's are cat like animals that are from the forests of Madagascar.
These animals are special because they are related to the mongoose family and are found no where else in the world. They are the largest mammal on the island other than Zebras, Lions, Hippos and Jirraffes (Madagascar the movie reference). They feast on lemurs and other primates on the island as well as birds, lizards, and pretty much any little critter it can get its paws on. I think these guys are really cool looking but are very low in population. This means theres a high chance of extinction.
