Back at the easel and working on coral today! This piece is part of a series about aquatic life near Papua New Guinea and deep sea mining in the area. Many thanks to Pardicolor and Wildlife Asia for awarding me a grant to make this art. 🦈

Mammal of the Day 209: Spotted Linsang (Prionodon pardicolor)
Family: Prionodontidae
Order: Carnivora
Infraclass: Placental
Conservation Status: Least Concern
a small, elusive animal resembling a genet, or somewhat of a cross between a cat and a weasel. while linsangs were formerly considered part of the family viverridae, which includes civets, genets, and oyans, and were considered close relatives of the oyans, recent research now considers them a separate family and most closely related to cats. the spotted linsang is small, slender, and has a very elongated neck, body, and tail. the eyes and ears are fairly large. the claws are retractable, although while the forefeet have bony claw sheaths, the hind feet sheath the claws simply with folds of skin. unlike cats, they are plantigrade and walk flat on their soles, rather than on the toes. it is yellowish in color with many large, solid dark spots and a ringed tail. it is similar to the closely related banded linsang, but the spots on the back do not connect to form bands, and it generally lacks the dark “mask” marking on the face, although “tear marks” are present. it is a solitary, semi-arboreal, typically nocturnal predator of small prey such as rodents, frogs, and snakes, and may also feed on carrion.
