Animal of the Day!

Common Genet (Genetta genetta)

(Photo by Steve Garvie)

Conservation Status- Least Concern

Habitat- Northern Africa; Sub-Saharan Africa; Southern Africa

Size (Weight/Length)- 2 kg; 55 cm; 50 cm tail

Diet- Insects; Fruits; Small mammals; Birds; Bird eggs

Cool Facts- Related to the civets, common genets are highly adaptive omnivores. They are both nocturnal and solitary, sleeping their days away in tree tops. During the night, they change into hunting mode. Common genets eat almost anything that’s slow enough to catch, capable of racing across desert dunes and treetops alike. Common genets hold large territories, fiercely defending it from other genets and small predators. During the mating seasons, genet will hiccup at each other to communicate and signal a friendly interaction. 

Rating- 12/10 (Biggest threat is the pet trade, wild animals should stay wild.)

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Asian palm civets are most widely known for their production of coffee beans for Kopi Luwak coffee, but they're also associated with another, equally popular drink: the toddy! The toddy cat also feeds on palm flower sap, which when fermented becomes a sweet liquor known as toddy which gives this cat its name.
