CINCINNATI ZOO GUIDE 
The collection contains two very fine specimens of the 
Striped Hyena ( H . striata). 
THE VIVERRIDAE 
The viverridae include the members of the civet family the 
ichneumons of Africa and Asia, etc. One of the most handsome is: 
The Civet Cat (Viverra civetta). It is a native of northern 
Africa. It is about two feet long and twelve to fourteen inches 
high. Its tail is the length of its body. Its hair is long, and the 
color is brownish gray, banded or irregularly spotted with 
black. A sort of mane runs down the center of the back from 
between the shoulders, and this can be erected at will. The 
perfume of the civets is strong though agreeable. 
The Zibeth Cat (Viverricula malaccensis). A native of India. 
It has more white in its fur than the civet; has shorter hair and 
a greater number of dark rings on its tail.
