Though often called "Genet Cat", genets aren't cats at all. They're small, carnivorous mammals belonging to the Viverridae family. They possess elongated bodies, spotted fur, a long tail, and a small head with large ears.
Genets are predominantly found in Africa but also inhabit certain areas of southern Europe and the Arabian Peninsula. They prefer woodland environments, grasslands, and scrubby areas but can sometimes be seen in agricultural lands and even urban areas.
Genet Cats are opportunistic feeders. Their diet includes insects, small mammals, birds, fruits, and reptiles. Their agile bodies allow them to climb trees in search of prey, like birds or eggs.
Genets are nocturnal and spend their days resting in trees or dense vegetation. They're solitary animals, marking their territory with scent glands located near their tail.
Not typically. Due to their small size and nocturnal habits, they're less sought after by hunters compared to larger game. However, their elusive nature can present a unique challenge for those interested.
Genets play a vital role in controlling insect and rodent populations. As a mid-level predator, they're also prey for larger carnivores, contributing to the balance in their food web.
Although not a primary target for most hunts, if a serious hunter expresses interest in pursuing a Genet, Craig Boddington Endorsed Outfitters ensures that the hunt is conducted ethically and sustainably. Using spotlights during nighttime safaris can sometimes aid in spotting them.
Contrary to their solitary nature, Genet Cats have been observed engaging in a behavior called "genet surfing" - riding on the backs of larger animals like rhinos or buffalos, possibly to catch insects disturbed by these large herbivores. It's a fascinating display of their adaptability and opportunistic nature.
At Craig Boddington Endorsed Outfitters, we value transparency, integrity, and the absolute best in hunting experiences. We believe that each hunt is more than just a price tag - it's a personalized journey for every hunter while we cannot list specific prices like the impersonal hunting directories out there you may have seen, we want to emphasize that we hand-pick outfitters known for their impeccable service, expert knowledge, and fair pricing. We understand that a hunt is an investment and we are committed to ensuring our clients get the best possible return - in experience, satisfaction, and the thrill of the hunt.
