A genet in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park in South Africa has been photographed by camera traps for several weeks running, riding around on the backs of cape buffalo and rhinoceros . Researchers agree: this is weird! (via.)

Foiled by an earlier comment. In other news I really love that tail. I think they would be adorable pets, especially if you had a big dog for them to ride.

Even if you assume it's the same genet, it still seems unlikely it could find two animals that let it ride.
I can see where riding on a much bigger animals is a big plus safety-wise. Lot's of stuff might try to eat you on the ground or in a tree, but on the back of a rhino, not so much.

The wife and I got hooked on Snapshot Serengeti for a while, in which you help researchers by combing through archives of trap camera photos and classifying the animals pictured. It was super fun, and apparently popular enough that all their photos were completely classified. Sad face.

The genet is looking down intently toward the ground in several photos; I assume the approach of a big heavy animal like those makes small burrowers come out of the ground to avoid having their tunnels collapsed on them, and then the genet eats them.

A lot of farm cats do this on horses and cows. A surprising number of the horses and cows are pretty chill about it, though not all. As for why, usually it's because it's cold. Like sleeping on a big heater.

The fossa is almost if not actually extinct by now. The environmental (and political, and humanitarian and everything else) situation in Madagascar is so dire.
I saw a genet, but only from a distance, in Kenya last year. I was weirdly excited and disappointed, as I really wanted to see one, but because we were so far away and it was fast and I knew that would be it. Apparently they hang out at a resort in the abedares but I never got up there.

Out of all the stories I've heard of Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, this is the first by far.
Hluhluwe is not the largest or most famous but it's probably the best game park in South Africa in terms of game population and the quality of facilities. I went there a couple of times when I was a kid. On the first a giraffe stuck its head through the window of our rondavel early one morning; on the second a few years later we had some amazing early morning trips to a waterhole hide watching the antelope and zebra and giraffe come down to drink while crocodiles slowly maneuvered to try and catch them; as well but definitely off-menu was a freakishly rare display one night of the southern lights.

You can have a pet genet without being a rhino! They are not great with very small children or pets smaller than cats, but they are not a vulnerable species and the ones in Europe were likely domesticated genets who escaped, so ta-dah! Have your own roman cat that climbs you like a tree and adores you (apparently they bond tightly with their owners and do not take to changing families well at all). Amusing Youtube of a pet Genet going nuts over baby lotion, complete with child wearing underwear on head.

Do Genets Make Good Pets?
posted by ChuraChura at 8:10 PM on September 9, 2014 [8 favorites]
For every animal, it depends on the person, but for most people the answer will be no.(I consider pretty much any exotic animal pet ownership unethical and a bad idea, but when even people who OWN exotic pets tell you it's a bad idea, it's probably a Bad Idea).
When people state that an animal makes a ‘bad pet’, they are generally speaking of its ease of care, friendliness, and adaptability to the human home. These are traits that domesticated animals have perfected.
A genet is not particularly a ‘hands on’ type pet. They are aloof and independent. You will get to 'hold', or more-so be perched upon by the genet if the genet decides that will be so, and the honor is usually directed toward the caretakers who are there most often.
Genets that are not handled frequently from a young age might be even wearier of people. They can be incredibly skittish; mine has the requirement to run to a safe location in 10 second intervals or if any threatening sound arises.
These qualities are literally stitched into the animal's DNA no matter how much socialization one provides. Yes, this is a domestic 'wild' animal, but to an owner who doesn’t require an animal to be very cuddly and is accepting of the genet’s nature as extremely independent (if they get outside, you’ll need lottery luck re-catching them), a genet is a possible fit.
When a genet does decide to climb on you, they often don’t have the boundaries that keep their claws from harming their owners. This is why some genet owners carry out the controversial practice of de-clawing which I don't consider ethical.

Adjacent cat lady's many white cats thought it might be cool to ride my Alpacas. On successive days, Mojo and Tucker and Olympia got them off by rolling, turned them green with spit and vigorously tried to stomp them. The entire indignant herd will now sound the alert usually reserved for snakes and coyotes and charge, (a sight to see) before lining up along the fence. They can turn a cat green as it runs the long and narrow path between a ravine and The Spitters. It's a gauntlet and very funny to watch.
I think it's either fun for both species, or a clan war.

Yeah unfortunately the IUCN categorisation in this case is based predominantly off guesswork, as - like many of the fauna in Madagascar - they are hard to track due to natural reclusiveness and the inaccessibility of many of the environments they inhabit.
There's a little bit about it in this great article:
My understanding is that the situation has only grown worse since then. Madgascar is and has been going through one of the most intensive and rapid habitat destructions out there. Only a comparatively small portion of the island gets enough rainfall to sustain the forest environment fossas are native to, and the population and government are denuding it at a staggering rate. There is simply nowhere for them to go.

Unfortunately fossas, like much of Madagascar's wild biodiversity, are faced with extinction. Classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN Red List, Lührs says more research is needed to know if fossas are in fact doing worse than believed. ..That piece is three years old - you can also catch a bit about it in the great BBC documentary from around the same period, appropriately titled "Madgascar". It also outlines the pressures on the fossa coming from every different angle you can think of.
...Lührs says she is pessimistic, but not hopeless regarding the long-term survival of the fossa. To save the species the first thing that is needed is more research, including "an intensive fossa survey all over Madagascar" according to Lührs. Right now conservationists simply don't know how many fossas survive and where populations are viable.

Spent too much time around livestock, I guess. Thought the post was for cute, not unusual.
Like fshgrl and bluehorse, I live in a world where small carnivores ride large herbivores and it's no thing.
That llamas are not okay with it surprises me, frankly.
Also, in answer to the rhino question - yes, they like skritches. Captive rhinos are basically like very good-natured horses, except that if they suddenly smash their head sideways because of pesky flies, a person who's in the way could be killed, rather than just knocked across the barn aisle. So, you know, if you are visiting your friendly neighborhood rhino keeper, borrow a long broom to scratch the rhino from outside its pen.
