Zorilla (Ictonyx Striatus)

Biome and Space requirements
In the wild, Zorilla live on the African savannah, and are mainly nocturnal. Zoos typically give the animals woodchip floors (or similar substrate, or straw) and a hammock to retreat into. Zorilla will also like rocks and logs in their home. Outdoor enclosures are also viable, as is keeping these in a nocturnal house. Rainforest Adventures in the US gives zorilla a tipped plant pot (to sleep in) and a dead tree.
