Fossa

—- aren’t they cute? These fossa cubs/pups were born at Chester zoo in the UK but fossa are endemic to Madagascar.

Fossa grow up to six feet long from nose to tail tip, weigh up to 26lbs and are distantly related to the mongoose. However, they have distinctly feline physical traits (those paws!) and look a bit like small cougars. There has long been controversy over how the fossa should be classified.
