If we behave like those on the other side, then we are the other side. Instead of changing the world, all we'll achieve is a reflection of the one we want to destroy.

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.)
