The Zorilla is an African weasel.

Zorilla

They live in mainly south and central Africa, occupying almost all of it. Though it is a specie of weasel, it resembles more of a skunk, and it can even act like a skunk as well. 

Physical Appearance[]

Zorillas are about 60–70 cm (24–28 in) in length, including their tails, and 10–15 cm (3.9–5.9 in) tall to the shoulders on average. They weigh anywhere from 1.3 pounds to 2.9 pounds, generally, the males being the larger of the two sexes. Their specific coloring varies by location. Generally they are black on the underside, white on the tail, with stripes running from their heads down their backs and on their cheeks. The legs and feet are black. Their skulls are usually around 56 mm (2.2 in) long, and they have unique face mask coloring, often including a white spot on their head, and white ears.
