This was exactly what was killed in uniben behind the auditorium last year during the matriculation event. I think we will be seeing more of it soon. Please let's save wild animals and not kill them. My view! |

That's an Ocelot... am sure those silly kids would have been told it's probably a witch and were expecting it to turn human after they had killed it. Ignorance is a freaking disease |

danyel09: Hyenas have massive jaws and no striped tails either, coyotes are not local to africa, not the first time am seeing this peculiar animal |

cooljude: Yes you found a good candidate... The coat pattern matches the Genets more consistently.. Its amazing they are two different creatures but look so mch alike... I wont be surprised if the Yahoo searched pictures of the Civets i posted, actually have Genets among them that have been mistaken as Civets.. At least one of the Civet pictures looks more like a Genet.. See Pics of the Genets i found Thanks for the insight.. I searched for other options and nothing like Genet came up for me...

Justfollowit: No, and as it may be, the creature OP put is likely a Genet which i did not know about.. But its still very related to the Civet.. I just have travelled and been to the south asian, amazon and african rain forest before. And i always check out information on the types of wildlife out there.. I too was once a jungle loving bush boy in Ondo state.. 1 Like |

19naia:Your first answer "ocleot", fits the animal in the picture. I googled it and it fits. 1 Like |

steppin: Yes it looks so ,but Ocelot is Native to south and central america with some ranging into the lower hot climate reaches of North america... So they are not found in Africa... Thats in the Civet Family.. The coat pattern matches most closely the Genet... I am living now in the Lower north american hot climate region where we have ocelots, mountain lions and other types of mid size to small size wildcats.. Not easy to see them, they are rare and very stealthy... |

400billionman: Its no hyena, It looks like a Civet, a nocturnal cat like animal spread across West Africa. There was no need killing it, these things are harmless |
Re: A Leopard-Like Creature Killed In A Public School In Lagos (Photos) by 400billionman: 5:48pm On Mar 26, 2015 |
Baroba: Did you peruse the two pictures I pasted ? The dead baby cat and a live hyena picked from the net ? |

@400billionman, lolz.....It's obvious you ain't familiar with animals, the same with 90% commenters on this thread. Why don't you Google a baby Hyena and a Genet, and make your comparison. ..My 2cents |

19naia:The pics used by wikipedia is exactly the same with that one they killed. Somebody had stated it was Genet before myself. |

[quote author=firetrap post=32016312] if you read back a few comments, you'd see that I already said that it is a genet[/ who cares? |

firestar:Jaguars are not that elusive but they are solitary that's why they are hard to spot, especially around the amazonian basin. |
Re: A Leopard-Like Creature Killed In A Public School In Lagos (Photos) by logica(m): 8:22pm On Mar 26, 2015 |
firestar:They are NOT felines. They are NOT related to jaguar (so not cousins). |

KingTom:animal conservation. The school should be sued. We kinda have this mentality that once the animal/specie is nt common, then it is "Ee pa" you'l hear next. It may be spiritual, who knows |
