Description

When: August 11, 2019

Where: Uilen-Dierenpark De Paay Beesd, The Netherlands

When this Grison emerged, he didn't seem fully awake yet and he definitely didn't seem sure he wanted to come outside and actually *be* awake

He really seemed to be debating whether it was worth it to show himself off to us. He did come out eventually, but he took his good time, as is his right.

Species: Lesser Grison (Kleine grizon)

Latin name: Galictis Cuja

Originates from southern South America.

Current status: Least Concern

Did you know:

…Lesser Grison are semi-plantigrade, meaning they walk partly on the soles of their feet – feet that are webbed, yet more adapted for running and climbing than swimming.

…These mustelids are monogamous, can live solitary or in family groups with parents and offspring.

…They possess anal scent glands that can produce a noxious smell not unlike that of a Skunk though weaker.
