Viverridae (family) (Carnivora (order), Mammalia (class), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Family containing 35 species in 20 genera of civets and related species resembling long-nosed cats, having retractile or partially-retractile claws, a baculum (penile bone), and an anal scent gland. They are among the most primitive families Carnivora, with skeletons very similar to those of fossils dating back to the Eocene 50 million years ago. |

Chinese (traditional) ..... 含三十五個種、二十個屬及其近親的科,外形似具有長鼻的貓,有可伸縮與半伸縮的爪,一個陰莖骨,以及一條肛門臭腺。牠們是食肉目中最原始的科,骨骼與五千萬年前始新世的化石極為相似。 |
Dutch ..... Familie van 20 genera met 35 soorten civetkatten en verwante soorten die lijken op katten met een lange neus. De dieren hebben intrekbare of gedeeltelijk intrekbare klauwen, een baculum (penisbot) en een anale geurklier. Het is een primitieve familie van roofdieren, met skeletten die veel lijken op die van fossielen uit het Eoceen van 50 miljoen jaar oud. |
