zoril n. 南非及小亞細亞產類似臭鼬的動物 南非及小亞細亞產類似臭鼬的動物 zoril n 1: muishond of northern Africa [synonym: {zoril}, {Ictonyx frenata}] Zoril \Zor"il\, n. (Zool.)
Same as {Zorilla}. [1913 Webster] Zorilla \Zo*ril"la\, n. [Sp. zorilla, zorillo, dim. of zorra, zorro, a fox: cf. F. zorille.] (Zool.) Either one of two species of small African carnivores of the genus {Ictonyx} allied to the weasels and skunks. [Written also {zoril}, and {zorille}.] [1913 Webster] Note: The best-known species ({Ictonyx zorilla}) has black shiny fur with white bands and spots. It has anal glands which produce a very offensive secretion, similar to that of the skunk. It feeds upon birds and their eggs and upon small mammals, and is often very destructive to poultry. It is sometimes tamed by the natives, and kept to destroy rats and mice. Called also {mariput}, {Cape polecat}, and {African polecat}. The name is sometimes erroneously applied to the American skunk. [1913 Webster] |
