12 Photos Of Strange Animals You Probably Didn't Know Exist

Most of us don’t have the idea of animal species that are on the Earth today, and we even get surprised as we find out there are some cool animals we haven’t heard of before.

The Fossa At first glance, a fossa looks like some kind of cat, monkey, or weasel. It has paws with claws like a cat, a long tail like a monkey, and round little ears like a weasel, so it's easy to be confused! Although it shares some adaptive similarities with cats, the fossa is closely related to the mongoose and civet. Its coat is short and dense, usually a rich brown color with a golden tinge and a lighter-colored belly. The fossa's tail makes up about half of the animal's length.
