Spotted Linsang

The spotted linsang is a slender tree-dwelling carnivore with a long body, short limbs, an elongated neck and head, and a long tail. The ground colour ranges from dusky brown to light buff. Two long stripes run from behind the ears to the shoulders or beyond, two shorter stripes run along the neck, and three to four rows of spots mark the back, becoming smaller towards the belly. It weighs about 0.45 kg (Wikipedia, general species account).

It is nocturnal, solitary and at least partly arboreal, hunting both on the ground and in trees, and feeds on rodents, frogs and snakes. It has also been seen feeding on a carcass (Wikipedia, general species account).
