Walk with the animals

So thanks to the cold I've had (pretty much over, just occasional congestion) and the cold weather, I've been getting through the David Attenborough "Life of Mammals" series pretty quickly over the last month. For those of you who have animal geekiness, may I suggest you examine the "fossa," a native carnivore of Madagascar? "Is it a mongoose or is it a cat?" asks the research quoted on Wikipedia. It's all very interesting. Watching these things move is a bit terrifying, though - they look 100% like all they do all day is think about killing things, primarily lemurs.
