Spotted Genet

visiting our campsite

Spotted GenetThe spotted genet is a nocturnal, omnivorous cat-like creature.  The pictures show the large spotted pattern of its pelt.  It has a long, furry, banded tail.  The genet shown here is trying to steal the bread from our campsite, even though the bread is wrapped in a plastic packet.  We first encountered it when some friends slept at our campsite with the tent flap open, and reported that a largish creature had nibbled their toes!
