The spotted genet is a small carnivorous mammal found in sub-Saharan Africa. It has a slender body, long tail, and distinctive spotted coat. Active primarily at night, it hunts for insects, rodents, birds, and reptiles. Solitary by nature, it communicates through vocalizations and scent marking. Habitat loss poses a significant threat, making conservation efforts crucial. Spotted genets play a vital role in their ecosystems as predators.
