My birthday evening continues with more new species! 😁 At first, in Lentorre, Kenya, I saw the Rusty-spotted Genet (Genetta fieldiana), also called Panther Genet and Large-spotted Genet. It was the species number 65 to me. It is a genet that is widely distributed in sub-Saharan Africa. It is considered common and therefore listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.
Soon after that, the species number 66 came from Namib Desert, the Bat-eared Fox (Otocyon megalotis). It is a species of fox found on the African savanna. It is the only extant species of the genus Otocyon, and is the sister species to all other members of the tribe Vulpini. No major threats to the bat-eared fox exist, and as such it is considered to be a least-concern species.
