Found this pic while looking around the net`,
but have no idea what it is? Anyone know?

African Civet

Civet

Right on. Here's one that I took in Zimbabwe in 2008:

And they STINK!!!!!
Civet is used as a perfume base ("fixer"?) from ancient times. Along with mongoose and genets, civet cats were always trying to get at the pigeons kept for a time by boys at our boarding school outside Addis Ababa. Mongooses also reek!

BTW the pix at top of this thread is of Mark Buchanan . His Big Bore Productions DVD of hunting Ethiopia (like a certain other high-watts Marc is working on -- hint, hint) is due out soon. "Death In The Rift Valley / Ethiopia". Christmas is very far away...

African Civet

WHen I see this animal I think this must smell something awful, meyba because it looks like a mix between skunk, racoon, badger and with a dash of hyena in there too

Thanks for answeing so fast!

I shot a real big one in Zim with my 9,3x74R.

It is one of my favorite trophies.

I like hunting the little cats and other varmints.

Can you import a civet into the USA? I declined to shoot them b/c I was not sure if I could bring it back.

yup, absolutely they are importable, non CITIES

Mine didn't stink at all. And yes, they are importable into the United States. Life Form has mine(and 25 other trophies of mine) ready for shipment.

The man behind the civet is Mark Buchanan, a superb hunter.

Here is mine from Lukwika this year, he was an ancient Civet.

Nice Civet.

As I stated above it is one of my most favorite trophies.
