lurking in these trees, is an animal who is highly skilled at killing lemurs. It is called the "foosa." A foosa is a long, lithe, and lean super-predator. It's got semi-retractable claws, an extraordinary musculature that lets it climb up and down tree-trunks as easy as a squirrel would, yet this thing outweighs a cocker-spaniel. The foosa looks a little bit like a cat. It looks a little bit like a dog. It looks a little bit like a hyena. But it's actually none of those things. The foosa's actually a really big mongoose. It's like a mongoose on steroids.The foosa is endangered. There are thought to be less than 2,000 or 2,500 foosa left on Madagascar, and, therefore, in the world. The time is near for foosa, and if something isn't done for their conservation, or the conservation of their habitat, it's going to be too late.
