Another new species for me (at least to get a photograph of) was the genet. I’ve seen them before, but usually just a quick glimpse before running away. They are strictly nocturnal and I was lucky to have my camera with me one night at dinner when I saw this guy creeping around. They are commonly called genet cats, although they aren’t technically cats. They are related to cats, but more closely to mongooses and civets.

Looks like a cross between the dat-eared foxes and the tarsiers. Is it a feline of sorts?
It is related to the felines, although it isn’t actually a cat.
