Similar to other genets, it has slender cat-like appearance with a long body, a long ringed tail, large ears, a pointed muzzle and partly retractile claws. This genet species has short pale grey to pale yellow fur with dark spots and a dark continuous line along its back. It weighs from 1.3 to 3kg (2.9 to 6.6 lb) and ranges from 42 to 52 cm (17 to 20 in) head to body with a tail of 40 to 53 cm (16 to 21 in) in length.
Large-Spotted Genet, like other genets, is highly agile and an exceptional climber. It dwells in woodland savannah, forest–savanna mosaic, rainforests and montane forests up to an elevation of 3,400 m (11,200 ft) in Ethiopia. Its nocturnal and stays on trees most of the time during the day. It is solitary except during mating season. It is omnivorous and feeds on rodents, eggs, fruits, berries and seeds.
