Comment reconnaître : Genet
Genets are slender animals with a long, black tail that is clearly ringed. Their fur shows a high-contrast pattern of dark spots on a sandy-grey to yellowish background colour. The markings are reminiscent of leopards and vary depending on the individual.
With a body length of around 50 centimetres and a tail of roughly the same length, genets look particularly lithe. Characteristic features are their large ears, pointed face and short limbs. Their posture often appears low and cat-like, moving in a sneaking manner.
