Wow! Out of six animals I had only heard of one, and that was because I was seriously considering going on a fossa-tracking trip in 2011 before I remembered that I had no money. That is serious animal knowledge cred!
Also, the German-language wikipedia page that appears to be the only thing on Wikipedia about the mušḫuššu seems to think that the dragon in Disney's "Mulan," one Mushu, is named after the Babylonian creature. I would correct it, but I don't know German; moreover, I would kind of be sad to have to correct what was an *awesome* assumption to say, "no, sorry, it's not Babylonian mythology--it's, um, a kind of pork pancake that you generally see on menus at Chinese restaurants in the states."
