I found this which also gives Ethiopia as a location. Ictonyx striatus (Striped Polecat, Striped Weasel, Zorilla) (http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/41646/0) From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weasel_family I found ;- Genetic analysis suggests the Mustelidae should be divided into eight subfamilies One of which is - Galictis, Vormela, Ictonyx, Poecilogale (Subfamily Galictinae) So it looks as though there are two animals called Striped Weasel in that part of the world. Tony, Suki and Sweetie aka Sneaky or Squeaky. In memory of Sally, Sue and Sugar. [Posted in FML 7556]
