Adaptation
The African civet has had to adapt due
to many challenges that arise in the African habitat. Africa does
not offer
a lot of easy food options in the regions the civet lives in, so
being that it is an omnivore, it eats whatever it can find.
(Admasu et al. 2012). It waddles on all four legs. The African
civet has an easygoing personality around other animals,
although it is not afriad to try and steal food. They will try
and flee first before fighting. Having long, curled,
semi-retractable claws, the civet can put up quite a fight if it
needs to.To learn more about the African civet's interactions,

picking
things off trees, bushes, or the ground, such as food. The
African civet has incredible eyesight, and this noctournal
creature uses this to it's advantage by collecting food and
making homes during the night without being disturbed. Click on
