CRYPTOPROCTA FEROX
(aka the Fossa)
THE FOSSA ARE ATTACKING!!
 |
| Who, us? |
You might be confused right now, because in the movie Madagascar, "fossa" is spelled "foosa." It is actually supposed to be pronounced "foo-sa," so I guess they just changed the spelling so as not to confuse people.
Anywhoo. . . the fossa was once thought to be part of the feline family, but is, in fact, more like a giant mongoose than a cat. They are the largest predators on the island, and hunt lemurs, birds, rodents, and pretty much anything that's smaller than a human.
There may be a lot of things that movie made up, but the killer instinct of the fossa was not one of them!
Okay, but their babies are still PRETTY DARN CUTE.
