I am shocked to know this is actually a thing. Really, I am very shocked that there are so many animals (such as flying squirrels) I've never heard of until very recently...
There are really tons of animals we haven't seen. Most of the unique ones are probably in the deep ocean, jungles, and isolated caves. I'm especially interested in deep ocean animals.
Krusty Kraken i hope we humans dont discover anything in the deep ocean. we tend to fuck up things and cause extinctions. look at Madagascar now. half the rainforest has been destroyed to make way for tourist.
***** Yeah, that does happen. We could scan them without affecting their environment, but I don't care if we cause the majority of species to go extinct, so long as they aren't reasonably intelligent. Dolphins, for instance, are pretty bright. They deserve to not be bothered. But other animals aren't very important. We could gather DNA from the species that might go extinct and repopulate them. Dodos will probably be one of the first projects when cloning is cheap. As far as losing variations of life, it isn't a big deal. Eventually we will be able to bring people back to life, because the universe is linear, and with a sufficient model of the universe, you could effectively rewind time and see what happened before, as well as locate the particles that once constructed something and put it back together. Nothing is ever destroyed, and in a hundred years or so we'll probably be bringing people and species back to life. So, the only thing I would personally have issues with is killing intelligent life, otherwise pretty much everything we do is ok.
Dr. Dollar is a cool guy. To answer some people's question about why he ran and whispered, I would say he left to reduce stress on the Fossa who was probably extremely upset when he got a dart in the leg.
I found the video interesting, but for people like myself who decided to watch a video about the fossa, it would have been a little better to have had more footage of the fossa and not so much footage of the person researching them! I mean yes, that guy is doing a wonderful service to the fossa, but they could have let him talk over footage of the fossa and showed more footage of the fossa while it was being examined. Just my two cents....
fossa! one of my favorite animals (next to the honey badger of course!).. it looks like a cat, dog, weasel (basically all the top mammal predators)... madness!
determining that they are an apex predator that will be population controll for anything on the island and showing that they don't just have one tiny thing in one tiny corner can give you a better idea of needing to conserve everything in the island ti keep them healthy, you could use them as an "indicator species"witch just means you guess better about everyone from what's happening to them
I have one as a pet. I thought it how to fetch me a beer and how to open it with its jaw. Yes, it has develop a taste for alcohol. Thus, I must ask it to bring me two beers, one for it and one for myself. :P
the fact Humans (Homo "Sapiens") are not native to Europe/Asia EURASIA makes us moving back to the point that no such animal as us will come back trough evolution. Only Neanderthal (I don't want to say scientific words for this species, because there are arguments over the methods used, to what it belongs)... neanderthal was infact native to these areas, Sapiens came in and Neanderthal extinct, they where replaced by Homo "Sapiens". There status of non native definitly made the point.
@xXxLostSoulxXx1 It seems so...I sometimes wonder if these animals have a 3rd eye to know to do their best to hide - from us - as much and as long as possible.
@Grevlo Well, all things are possible. Irregardless, a million bucks says that a giant squid or one of those godzilla-looking angler fish at the bottom of the ocean could tell ya yea or nay on that. Just have to figure out how to talk to em. Which could take a minute.
Evelyn Lowe they aren’t in the cat family. Wtf are you talking about? Fossa is related to the Mongoose and is in the Eupleridae family NOT Felidae which are cats.
@@Fhall0ween I think Evelyn means they are related to cats because they are in the suborder Feliformia, which is everything closer to cats than dogs. And they never said the fossa is a member of Felidae, they even stated they aren't true cats.
OH YEAH THAT ANIMAL WAS WHAT THE LITTLE RODENT-LIKE ANIMALS IN MADAGASCAR THE MOVIE WAS SAYING LIKE "THE FUSA! THE FUSA! THE FUSA!" JUST CHECK OUT THE MADAGASCAR MOVIE.
@Grevlo Yes, some of the ones we know about - really delightfuly bizarre animals - seem like elegant holdouts from prehistoric times. It would be even cooler if we find some monsters or something. Who knows haha?
@scottclements78 The real problem is that Humanity Knows very well what it has to do to save most of the Species are in danger yet wont because there isn't a real profit in it!!!
Each similair, species will develop further if needed or possible/relevant.. So when one extincts, another can take it's place directly or slowly trough speciation.... so replaceble yes, but quick... could be.

Well, what did you expect from God's great creation?
@@krustykraken9331 it is a big deal?
King Julien big phobia! xd

Hyenas come straight from Civets not Fossa. This might be what ancestors of cats might look like though.

camera man: "why are we whispering?"
Beautiful animal.
He's going to have a treasure trove of information about a recently-extinct species. That's a depressing way to frame it.
catdog?
thats a pretty cool cat.
Dude its not even a cat in the title cat is in quotations

Foosa from Madagascar.That explains all the Madagascar Movie sugestions...
Thanks
There used to be a lion-sized species too, but we wiped it out 500 years ago.
A lion sized species! what was it called?

A cat-like creature that looks like a hyena... cooooooooool!
This cat has an hyena-like face!
wow totally going to watch madagascar tmrrw! FOOSA FOOSA!! lol
@Grevlo Yes, very fine, very mysterious creature. I wonder what other animal mysteries are on the planet.
I have one as a pet. I thought it how to fetch me a beer and how to open it with its jaw. Yes, it has develop a taste for alcohol. Thus, I must ask it to bring me two beers, one for it and one for myself. :P
Fossa roarrr
Kenny Powers moved to Madagascar after baseball, cool
it's like a otter hybrid
@xXxLostSoulxXx1 i wholeheartedly agree

0:25 ZABOOMAFOO!!!
That thang was knocked out. lol

wonder....
What are you doing in my country
most mysterious animal in madagascar is Penguins of Madagascar.. LOL
"I'm Kenny Powers and I'm here to say that mi fossa es su fossa"
I want one...

Never heard of the fuusa? Obviously you've never seen the movie Madacascar before -_-
@Idtelos Your pet Foosa sounds awesome! I'd get mine to mix me a rum and coke. ;)
@xXxLostSoulxXx1 It seems so...I sometimes wonder if these animals have a 3rd eye to know to do their best to hide - from us - as much and as long as possible.
@scottclements78 black rhino is extinct? no way where did you find it?

@Grevlo Well, all things are possible. Irregardless, a million bucks says that a giant squid or one of those godzilla-looking angler fish at the bottom of the ocean could tell ya yea or nay on that. Just have to figure out how to talk to em. Which could take a minute.
I wanted to see its teeth :/
Fusa aren't cats
Rhiannon Kitsune but the look like cats and are in the cat family
Zira 3706 fossa are only related to cats but arent true cats
Evelyn Lowe they aren’t in the cat family. Wtf are you talking about? Fossa is related to the Mongoose and is in the Eupleridae family NOT Felidae which are cats.
@@Fhall0ween I think Evelyn means they are related to cats because they are in the suborder Feliformia, which is everything closer to cats than dogs. And they never said the fossa is a member of Felidae, they even stated they aren't true cats.
its cute :O,..
"Foosa" LOL,LOL! It's Fossa.
THEE ADVOCATUS it can also be pronounced as Foosa .-.
It's most commonly pronounced fussa
I like to move it move it
@scottclements78 Here here!
@chemicallyfeline hahaha yeah!! FOOSA!!!!
@Majicdolphin1 HUMAN USES POISON STING!
PERSIAN FAINTS!

@scottclements78 what the hell! T_T

@upurhoe12321
*sigh*
It looks more like a weasel than a cat.
フォッサでは。？
尾も長く木登りが得意です。爪を出し入れできる。鋭い嗅覚、触覚、視覚を持ち、キツネザルを狩ります。交尾には、メスに主導権が有ります。
@rmsolympic1 cute too!
@xXxLostSoulxXx1 habwahahahahahahahahhahha
interracial sex ftw. lol :D
first
OH YEAH THAT ANIMAL WAS WHAT THE LITTLE RODENT-LIKE ANIMALS IN MADAGASCAR THE MOVIE WAS SAYING LIKE "THE FUSA! THE FUSA! THE FUSA!" JUST CHECK OUT THE MADAGASCAR MOVIE.
So it's correctly pronounced fussa but most ppl just say fossa
Dennis James its a fussa fossa. now say that 10 time fast.
In English it's Fossa, but the Madagascar blanguage it's fussa. So both are correct.
@Grevlo Yes, some of the ones we know about - really delightfuly bizarre animals - seem like elegant holdouts from prehistoric times. It would be even cooler if we find some monsters or something. Who knows haha?
Wow...so that's what the first cats might have looked like? Awesome!
I first heard of them in the cartoon Madagascar :)
so many people on earth and we're just now finding new animals? amazing
I wonder if it can mix with common ally cats? That would be awesome!
Why was he whispering?
@scottclements78 The real problem is that Humanity Knows very well what it has to do to save most of the Species are in danger yet wont because there isn't a real profit in it!!!
I love learning about rare organisms. It's like pokemon in real life....
the fossa, the fossa are coming, the fossa are going to atack the fossa, the fossa
Each similair, species will develop further if needed or possible/relevant.. So when one extincts, another can take it's place directly or slowly trough speciation.... so replaceble yes, but quick... could be.
@scottclements78 We don't have to protect our nature, we just need to consume what we need it pretty lean manner like in wild.
THE FOSSA!!!!! THE FOSSA!!!!! THE FOSSA ARE ATTACKING!!!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!
