Genetta genetta –<\/p>\n

I went to photograph quite a different subject knowing that in this low mountain area Genets are quite common, I was hoping to see one but without really believing it. This one was having a nap in a tree hollow so must have had a meal not long ago. The big eyes are a give-away: this species is usually nocturnal. It was brought to Europe by the Saracens during the 8th century and is sill today the only viverrid on this continent. Since it not much monitored not much is know about it.<\/p>\n

Genette commune<\/p>\n

Partie faire un aff\u00fbt pour un sujet bien diff\u00e9rent mais sachant que dans ce coin les Genettes sont communes, j\u2019esp\u00e9rais en voir une sans trop y croire. Celle-ci devait avoir l’estomac plein car elle faisait une sieste au creux de cet arbre en basse montagne o\u00f9 les rochers sont recouverts de mousses et les arbres de lichens.<\/p>\n

Les grands yeux attestent que cette esp\u00e8ce est un vrai nocturne bien qu’il ne soit pas si rare de la voir de jour \u00e9galement, contrairement au sanglier devenu plus nocturne par la pression de l’humain.Pour les infos sur ce magnifique petit f\u00e9lin, voir [ICI…]et [LA…].<\/p>\n
