This is Civey, a civet at Moholoholo Rehab Centre.

She came in a few months ago as a baby (although she was quite grown when I started there!). She was hand raised so she's very friendly - a little too friendly in fact! I was her "mommy" for about six weeks, and she was extremely playful, but as her way of playing involves biting, it was quite painful. She was nice sometimes though, haha.

She will be released at some point in the near future - we were (and still are, I presume) trying to teach her to kill things effectively so that she doesn't starve in the wild. She's really bad at it though - she just can't be bothered to actually work to get her food. Silly thing. She's pretty good once she gets into it though.

Anyway. My "baby" civet.

She's probably about a metre long (nose-to-tail) at the moment, give or take. She's not fully grown yet, but I don't think she's far off.

Haha, no problem! She's black and white (and grey ). As far as I know, all African civets are the same, but I have no idea about other civet species...I only got to play with this one, haha.
