18 of the strangest animals ever

Here kitty, kitty
It looks like a cross between a cat and dog, but it is really a relative of the mongoose. The fossa is unique to the forests of Madagascar and feeds on lemurs, wild pigs and mice. Unlike mongooses, and more like felines, the fossa has retractable claws and catlike teeth. Its coat is reddish brown and its muzzle resembles that of a dog. The fossa is also equipped with a long tail that comes in handy while hunting and maneuvering amongst the tree branches.
