One night in the iMfolozi research camp our wildlife volunteers had a beautiful visitor - a male large-spotted genet (Genetta tigrina). Genets are nocturnal and have lovely spots, with a long, bushy, ringed tail. Mainly keeping to trees, they do occasionally forage on the ground. We were so excited to see him and he was more than happy to stop tree-hopping in order to pose for our photographs. He wasn’t shy at all and liked the paparazzi attention…Could this be our famous Genet Jackson?
