What does GENET mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A small, slender, cat-like carnivorous mammal with a spotted coat and a long, ringed tail, native to Africa and parts of Europe.
The genet hunts mainly at night, climbing trees and stalking rodents, birds, and insects with the same agility as a cat, even though it belongs to a separate family related to civets and mongooses. Its long tail helps it balance while moving through branches, and its spotted fur provides camouflage in wooded and scrubby habitat. Several genet species live across sub-Saharan Africa, with one species also established in southwestern Europe.
