Hi,

I think this could be a Civet, if it is then it is a very large Civet! I always thought they were a lot smaller!!

I named it first as a hyena but was wondering what it really was.When it leaves the waterhole, you can clearly see the figures in its fur. Thanks for the video!

It is the size of a Hyena.  Note the "Racoon" face.  The stripping along the neck.  The rear end looks like a civet.  Any one know for sure ?

Regards
