"Probably no family of carnivores is so poorly known as the viverrids..."
-T.A. Vaughan, Mammalogy

Back to the submitting-these-things groove? Here is the very large and similar looking Team Genet, everyone's favourite slinky little vivs. Which I made different colours to save myself going mad drawing 13 spotty brownish-grey animals

I want a purple one <3

For those tuning in now, this is part of my spur of the moment idea to draw all 34 species of viverrid for my big analysis on TDF.

I actually managed to find a website with pelts for all the different species, since googling any genet gives you mainly pictures of small spots and large spots, but it seems to have died so I can't show my working and you're going to have to take my word for it

FUN THINGS TO KNOW:
-Genets are considered the closest viverrids to the original carnivore form. They're adaptable but less specialised than the more omnivorous civets.

-Aquatic genets are actually pretty crappy swimmers. They hunt by tapping the surface of water to attract fish. It then puts its whiskers in the water to feel when the fish is near.

-It is really hard to find species specific stuff on these boogers...at the moment I'm reading a 108 page paper on large spotted genets that a friend found, trawling it for useful stuff. At the moment it's lots of diagrams of genet movement, so it's pretty adorable People keep genets though, so feel free to chuck any genet information you know at me
