Бинтуронг - самый крупный из виверровых, на втором месте африканская цивета, потом большая индийская вроде.

Еще вроде сулавесская довольно большая(Может ещё кто-то из рода Viverra, кроме большой индийской?)

Сулавесская цивета.

Очень похожа на "cat-fox", но она из Индонезии.

Это пока не изученное животное:

Small carnivorans from southern Benin: a preliminary assessment of  diversity and hunting pressure
Abstract
We conducted a preliminary study totalling nine-weeks between August 2007 and June 2008 in southern Benin to assess small carnivoran diversity and the hunting pressure to which they are subject through interviews, surveys of local markets and occasional direct
observations. We provide an ‘Index of Rarity’ (IR), expressed as the number of times a species is identified as ‘rare’ by interviewees
/ the number of times it is mentioned. Nine species or taxa (Genetta spp.) were identified through 86 interviewed hunters, representing
a total 333 mentions. Genets, Cusimanse Crossarchus obscurus and Ichneumon Mongoose Herpestes ichneumon were by far the most
sighted, the prevalence of such ecologically versatile species confirming that southern Benin constitutes an environmentally disturbed
region. Other species were Spotted-necked Otter Hydrictis maculicollis, Marsh Mongoose Atilax paludinosus, White-tailed Mongoose
Ichneumia albicauda, African Civet Civettictis civetta, Gambian Mongoose Mungos gambianus and African Palm-civet Nandinia binotata. Direct observations allowed us to confirm the presence of G. pardina / G. maculata, C. obscurus, H. ichneumon, and H. maculicollis. Through market surveys and subsequent molecular identifications, we clearly distinguished among G. genetta, G. pardina / G.
maculata and G. thierryi, raising to 11 the number of small carnivoran species present (or probably present) in southern Benin. During
our interviews, Slender Mongoose Galerella sanguinea and African Small-clawed Otter Aonyx capensis were never positively identified. The ubiquitous C. civetta was considered the rarest species (IR = 0.89), followed by H. maculicollis (0.72) and I. albicauda (0.69),
whereas C. obscurus (0.01) was the commonest small carnivoran. Hunting techniques were mostly traditional guns, accompanied by
dogs, and jaw traps. Despite the absence of selective hunting, small carnivorans are likely to represent a fair source of income for
hunters, body parts being sold to fetish markets in 47% of the cases. Mean incomes range between US$ 2.5 and 5.4 per animal, with the
notable exception of C. civetta (US$ = 14.6) and heads of H. maculicollis, reaching US$ 33.7. The fair proportion of small carnivorans
observed on fetish market displays showed that hunting for animist practices might sustain a continuous hunting pressure in Benin. Our
preliminary survey raises a number of questions as to the distribution of small carnivorans in southern Benin, the impact of heavily disturbed habitats on their survival and the level of sustainability of the hunting pressure they are subject to. Additional field surveys will
be necessary for more precise characterisation of their status.

У нас в зоопарке сделали замер укуса нашей африканской циветты. Показало на 500 грамм меньше, чем питбулевский результат: 124,5 кг на см.

Из генет сделали страшных тварей. Немудрено - африканцы уж забыли, как они выглядят.
