Genets

Genets are a species of mammal related to the mongoose and fossa. They are also highly agile, like the fossa. They have spotted coats, banded tails, large ears, and small heads. Their tails are very long. Their tails are almost one to one and a half times the length of their body. Genets spend most of their time in trees. Most species live in Africa, but one species lives in Southwestern Europe. Genets are mostly nocturnal animals. Genets can crawl through openings as small as their heads.

Diet

Genets are omnivorous. Their diet consists of rodents, shrews, bats, birds, fish, bird eggs, centipedes, millipedes, scorpions and fruits like figs and olives. Sometimes they eat poultry.
