Surprising. makes sense tho - what's gonna tackle a buffalo or rhino?  Is  a way for small animals to move around at night and not get eaten.

Genets tend to bond very closely with members of other species. This can be a problem with pet Genets if there is another pet in the household: They might bond with a dog or cat, rather than their owner: exoticpets.about.com/od/unconventionalpets/a/Pet-Genets.htm

A Genet-related thought: If Europe's Genets are the feral offspring of an extinct domestic population, maybe something similar happened during the evolution of the Bush Dog Speothos? This would explain its extremely pedomorphic look: farm3.staticflickr.com/2851/11873241935_fc8e756fe5_o.jpg
