Jenner the Genet lives at Lake Superiors Zoo. Genets are minimally related to cats, though the do look similar and have similar behaviors. They’ve been known to meow and purr like cats.

Jenner represents species we would never see, or maybe even know about, in our part of the world. They come from South Africa.

Zookeeper Bethany Wright tells us, “Jenner is very playful. He likes playing with toys, especially if they have scents on him. He’s also kind of just a chill guy.”
