Rusty-spotted genets, also known as large-spotted genets, are similar in stature and size to small-spotted genets (Genetta genetta). They can be slightly heavier, but this is not a useful field feature. Coat patterns vary tremendously within the species, with the ground colour being off-white to buffy yellow. The spots along the body are quite large and separate from each other, and are black with brown or rusty colouring in the centre of each spot. There is a mid-dorsal line, the same colour as the spots, the length of the body. They lack the raiseable crest of hairs along the back which Is found in small-spotted genets. The legs are off-white, but the hind feet may be black below. The tail usually has a black tip. |
