Honey Badger?
I think that it might be a civet
I would say it fits African Civet pretty well.
Thank you guys,
These are indeed the two options I think are still possible. The rest can be excluded. The white and black stripe on the right of the animal are part of the animal, suggesting to me that must be the neck/head, turned away from the camera.
Looks like African Civet to me. The striping on the neck, black legs and the marking on the rear thigh look to match the civet. I instantly thought civet when I saw the photo.
Looks quite a lot like an African civet to me.
I agree with the civet ID. However, if there is a place in E Africa where a new large mammal could still be discovered, it’s probably Harenna or some other island forest in S Ethiopia 😉
Thank you all for your reply! I thinkg we can conclude on civet than…
