[edit]

The picture shown is of an African Civet (Civetticus Civetta). While the two species may be similar, they are distinct species and should not have the same picture presenting both.

You are apparently correct, User:Viewport. I will remove the picture from this article and fix any other such misuses of it. --Kineticman 02:06, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Some paragraphs are exactly as they are written in Wilson, D. E. & Mittermeier, R. A. eds (2009). Handbook of the Mammals of the World. Vol I. Carnivores. Lynx edicions. Barcelona

Males may be slightly larger than females. Their heads are broad, with fairly pointed muzzles, the nose pads are brown to dark. The ears are short, broad at the base and rounded. There is a single brown-black spot behind their ear pinnae

Albinism seems to be extremely rare (there was one Albino individual collected in the Democratic Republic of the Congo).

And other if not exactly, very very close. The order of phrases are exactly as in the book. --DPC (talk) 17:15, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
