The African sagebrush (scientific name Ictonyx striatus), also known as zorille, usually lives alone and hunts at night. The African sagebrush is an aggressive and territorial animal. It usually marks its territory with feces and anal scent gland spray. The spray released by the odor glands can cover a radius of 0.8 kilometers, temporarily blinding the opponent and irritating the mucous membranes, causing a strong burning sensation. Feeds on rodents and insects. There are 2 to 3 babies in a litter.
Protect wild animals and eliminate wild game.
