Common genet

Kudos to the Old Man--the kitty two posts down is a genet.

Genets are relatives of the cat family, found in Europe, Africa, and some places of the Middle East. They're about a foot and a half long, with another foot and a half of tail, and they weigh around five pounds. They're solitary and nocturnal, and live to be about ten to fifteen. They eat pretty much anything smaller than themselves, from smaller mammals to birds and insects to eggs and fruits. Common genets are also known as small-spotted genets or European genets.


This one should be a little bit easier. Anyone know what this animal is? (I think Dubby does.) He's also unbearably cute. Don't worry, they won't all be cute. My next animal lined up is downright silly-looking.
