An animal I’m obsessed with is: the linsang, which looks almost like a cat but has this weird long neck.

Two other genera, Helictis, an aberrant badger, and linsang, an aberrant civet, are representatives of Malayan types.

To see whether other carnivores also lack sweet receptors, Beauchamp and his team collected DNA from 12 members of the order Carnivora, including spotted hyenas, a cat-like creature from Madagascar called a fossa, a civet called a banded linsang and several species of sea mammal.

The family contains the Civet, Genette, Linsang, Suricate, Binturong and Mongoose, though this last is separated by Jerdon, who follows Blyth.

This is a very curious animal, which, like the panda and the linsang, at first misled naturalists in assigning it a place.
