I could just go back to the zoo and look at the sign....LOL

I want to say Ringtal Cat (more related to raccoons than felines), but the face and spots on the body make me think otherwise. Apologies for the poor quality.

Ring-tail Cats aren't spotted like that; I *think* it's a Civet, but only about 75% on that ID

I did a Google image search and I think Civet is correct. I can see how it could be confused with a ringtail.

Hi,

I think this is a Spotted Genet.

White cheek patches and a thicker longer bushy tail.

Right! Good call, Kev. I couldn't for the life of me remember any of the 'cousins' when I looked before, but you're right.
