The cat- like animal
The front page coverage of Fossa predatory cat-like animal which appeared in your newspaper dated 5th February, caught our attention. The description of Fossa that The Daily Star reported is almost the same like the one our aunt in Kolkata had seen recently. Your coverage on Fossa made it easier for us, as we were working through internet to know about the animal. The neighbourhood of Elliot road, Kolkata was terrified by a cat-like animal with round face and big tail which used to eat up chicken, pigeons and other pets. A few people of the area even saw the animal climbing trees, walls and houses. According to the neighbourhood of Elliot road, the Fossa or Iguana might have lived inside a big dark tunnel behind the ancient old mosque built by our maternal ancestors. The point is if the animal seen in Elliot road, Kolkata is really a Fossa or an Iguana, it needs attention to prove its existence in India apart from Madagaskar alone.
