I went to google it, but i knew about civets and ocelots already, so i typed in those and was able to get pictures and write ups and even details about genets or other animals similar that can easily be mistaken as such. I think it turns out to be a genet and not a civet or ocelot as i first suspected.

If i could go to the bush and ask it, i would but they always run away. So google is the next best option. Internet connect always dey for my side na, no need enter bush.

actually its a hyna

Not an hyaena, DTS an African Civet.

That's a genet, it looks like a cat but it not a cat. It's in the sub-order feliformia and family viveridae

It related to the civet, binturongs and fossa
