Rescued genets ready to begin their slow release into the wild

Posted on 23 December 2022

The Johannesburg Wildlife Veterinary Hospital has hand-raised a group of five large spotted genets and they are now old enough to begin their slow-release process.

The large spotted genet is widely distributed throughout South Africa from the  Southern and Eastern coasts, extending north in neighbouring countries.

These five genet kits could not be reunited with their moms and were bottle-fed with a unique milk formula. Have a look at these adorable rescued animals that will be off to the wild soon.
