[6] It is distinguished from the common genet by the black rather than white tip to the tail and more irregular blotching and spotting on the coat.

[8] The Angolan genet occurs in Angola, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

It lives in a variety of environments in its range, including both the local miombo woodlands and plains.

[1] During camera-trapping and transect surveys in Tanzania between 2007 and 2012, the Angolan genet was recorded north of Katavi National Park and in the Rukwa Region.

[9] The Angolan genet is not considered threatened by habitat change, but might be negatively affected by road traffic.
