GENET

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 586 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GAG-GEO
GENET , typically a
south
 
European
  carnivorous mammal referable to the Viverridae or family of civets, but also taken to include several allied species from Africa. The true genet (Genetta vulgaris or Genetta genetta) occurs throughout the
south
  of Europe and in Palestine, as well as North Africa. The fur is of a dark-grey colour, thickly spotted with black, and having a dark streak along the back, while the tail, which is nearly as
long
  as the
The Genet (Genetta vulgaris).
body
 , is ringed with black and
white
 . The genet is rare in the south of-
France
 , but commoner in Spain, where it frequents the banks of streams, and feeds on small mammals and birds. It differs from the true civets in that the anal pouch is a mere depression, and contains only a faint trace of the highly characteristic odour of the former. In south-western Europe and North Africa it is sought for its soft and beautifully spotted fur. In some parts of Europe, the genet, which is easily tamed, is kept like a cat for destroying mice and other
vermin
 .
