Oh hai! Let us introduce you to the spotted genet, our newest animal crush that has us swooning and fawning all over it! Dis cute lil' creature can be found in many parts of Africa. With its big eyes and spots all over its fur, it's hard not to fall in love with this adorable critter. It kind of looks like a lemur, mixed with a cat, a little fox thrown in there, and definitely, some skunk vibes going on. Basically, it's super cute and we can't get enough of it.

Spotted genets are expert climbers and can jump up to six feet high! They use their long tails for balance and are able to easily navigate through trees and bushes. Plus, they have super sharp claws which help them catch their prey. Overall, the spotted genet is a fascinating and adorable creature. So, next time you're in Africa (we say that casually as if everyone goes to Africa often), keep your eyes peeled for these spotted cuties!

It's soooooooo cuuuuuuuuuuuuute. Here it looks like a tiny chipmunk/squirrel, so tiny, being held in those hands. We can't imagine how cute it must be to play with as a little baby, probably like a kitten mixed with some fox energy!

This little spotted genet is judging someone, hard. We're not sure what they're looking at, but they look very displeased. Probably some fashion faux-paw (see what we did there?), or someone just told a really bad joke.
