"For The Love of Africa"

South Africa, Phinda Game Reserve in northern KwaZulu-Natal borders the World Heritage Greater St. Lucia Wetland Park.  Genets are mainly nocturnal but are often spotted during the day in the rainy season. Although considered arboreal, they spend much time on the ground hunting prey and taking shelter in escarpments and rocky outcrops. Genets can squeeze their slender, flexible bodies through any opening larger than their head. They also climb trees to hunt nesting or roosting birds.   Genets also have retractable claws adapted to climbing and catching prey.  Adult genets are solitary.
