Malagasy civet

The Malagasy civet (Fossa Fossana), also known as the fanaloka or jabady, is a fox-like Euplerid native to Madagascar. The family Eupleridiae includes all the carnivorous mammals of Madagascar. Karl from All Hail King Julien is one of the main antagonists in that Netflix original series. Fanalokas in real life are cutter than Karl. I've 1st heard about this animal from the Kratt bros. show Be The Creature: Lemurs. My favorite non-lemurs in King Julien were originally the fossa and when I've noticed the episode "Enter The Fanaloka," I was filled with excitement to see Karl because I love all the carnivorous mammals of Madagascar. In the movie Penguins of Madagascar, when Classified the wolf said "The most remote place on the planet," which includes Madagascar, it is in fact not the most remote place because it has over 20 million people living on Madagascar. Those people were originally from Indonesia and Indonesian settlers settled into Madagascar 2,000 years ago. The giant lemurs of Madagascar are now extinct due to hunting and habitat loss. It seems like the island has one of the most amazing animals there. Lemurs are types of primates native to Madagascar as well as the Comoros. Lemurs were originally from Africa around 40 million years ago after the dinosaurs went extinct and a violent storm swept them away from the continent to Madagascar. I wish Chauncey the cockroach is actually a ring tailed mongoose instead. Chauncey was voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson who also voiced Maurice. There is another type of carnivorous mammal native to Madagascar called the Sub-Antarctic fur seal. Not only should we save Madagascar's endangered species, but we should also save Madagascar's poor people. Does it look like a fox to you? Leave a comment and let me know. It also looks like a cross between a distorted cat or a weasel. Due to its scientific name, however, it should not be confused with the fossa (Cryptoprocta Ferox).
