Meet the genus Ring-tailed Badger, the destroyer of all things.
If you can't figure out what animal it is, don't worry, everything is fine. The ring-tailed badger genus is representative of the Civet family and is not found in our region. These animals look like a hybrid of mongoose and cat. They live a proper lifestyle.
With the dexterity of cats, the badger genus climbs trees and conducts acrobatic studies on branches. In addition, climbing up the trunk and slipping out of it, the animal moves like a caterpillar – pulling its hind legs to the front.
The furious mongoose destroyed everything smaller than it. The size of the animal itself is not large: 30 cm body + 30 cm tail - that's all it is. But it can destroy a lot of things: from insects to little lemurs. In addition, the genus hunts in small family groups of up to five members. Whether underground or in a tree, you can't hide from such an organized criminal group.
Wherever you are, I will find and eat you.
In the process of destroying local fauna, the badger genus patrols 20-25 hectares in Madagascar. This animal marks its territory with odor markers. Of course, the demarcation of the border is incomplete without active negotiations with neighboring countries – and then roars and screams can be heard throughout the region.
Ring-tailed Mungo has three subspecies. But apart from the colors and the more common places, there is no fundamental difference between them.
But overall, the genus ringtail is the cutest, and in addition, they have loving and responsible parents. Mature badgers in malagasy forest communities take 2 years to grow.
Rejoice, my dear, this moment has arrived! I'm ready to give you a massage!
After 3 months, the happiness crystallization of 50 grams of parents was born. To celebrate, the mother of the badger genus bites the baby badger and runs around, however, after a month and a half, when the little one begins to grow into adulthood and eat meat, social distancing will be lifted and the family will be reunited safely. Papa would be actively involved in teaching the art of hunting to its descendants.
When your wife yells at you, you still don't know why.
Already at 3 months of age, babies of the genus will have access to insects and amphibians as snacks. In six months, it will be time for a fishing trip. A young badger genus will complete training in hunting skills within a year. But it will be at least another year before the child leaves his parents. There is always something more to learn from the older generation. What's more, survival rates are higher in reliable and proven teams.
How many ring-tailed badgers live under natural conditions, it's hard for scientists to say, and the number of such animals has not attracted the attention of scientists.
