Thats a hyena... Neither a Raccoon nor a dog...

fhelihx:
It looks very much like coyote.

I was thinking it was a civet cat. Don't know if they grow that big sha

samsongbemisola:
The bush dog was caught in the trap this morning, this is the second time I am seeing it,the first was during my NYSC days

this is not a bush dog neither is it a coyote. coyotes arefound in northern america. it's likely a genet. Bush dogs are bigger than this.

This animal is called "moloko" in yoruba.

Sir,a quick search on google and you'll see that said animal is classified under "least concern". This implies that the animal is not endangered at all. Look i get the push for conservation completely! but if that animal was there to take their fishes then it got what was coming. If it wasn't then i guess the folks just wanted something gamey to eat. You guys need to chill out, are there hunting licenses or government specified animal hunting seasons at the moment? If there are none, this implies that the people in charge of conservation are not doing the job they should do OR people have much bigger priorities.

I think everyone making noise about the fact that we kill animals anyhow in nigeria should keep understand how conservation works and what the government has to do to enforce laws in favor of the ecosystem. Bear in mind that if i shoot and kill coyotes here and present the ears to the appropriate authorities, i would be given a certain amount of money per pair (not sure if that's still in force but i am sure you get the idea).

I understand you perfectly. But you see, maybe you checked on the wrong animal. If this is what you saw online. That's not the animal. The animal (dunno its name) has long white striped round its ribs and back and a furry, long tail with deep-sitting, round black eyes.

Civet cat

More like a Civet or Genet Cat and not a Bush Dog or a Coyote

Nigerians tho.. visit zoo, una no go visit, na malls and movies, read about wildlife on your smartphones, nope .. na so so twitter and Facebook.. the average white man knows more about our local flora and fauna than us, its a big shame

No, it's not called a raccoon. It's called a civet, African civet to be precise. Google 'civet' and see.

To whom @It May Concern That Animal Is actually a Civet Cat...! .
