FOOD HABITS: Blotched genets (Genetta tigrina) eat a broad variety of food items including small rodents, birds, reptiles, fruit, and invertebrates. One study found over one half of the stomach content items of blotched genets examined to be invertebrates; the three most commonly eaten of these were Coleoptera, Orthoptera, and Isoptera, respectively. Crabs and fresh-water mussels were also found, but these are eaten infrequently. The most commonly taken mammal is the murid Praomys natalensis. GENETTA TIGRINA preys heavily in agriculturally developed land upon rodents of the family Muridae. _____________________________________________________________________ PREY: Large Spotted Genets (Genetta Tigrina) eat insects and other invertebrates such as scorpions, spiders and millipedes, as well as amphibians, reptiles, birds, rodents and other small mammals up to the size of hares. Rats and other rodents make up a significant percentage of their diet.

In Africa, hyraxes are preyed on by leopards, Egyptian cobras, puff adders, caracals, wild dogs, and eagles.[9] Verreaux's Eagle in particular is a specialist hunter of hyrax. (Wikipedia)
