They typically have brown, black, white or mixed fur, have an average length of 13 cm, weigh about 200 grams, and have natural lifespan of about 3 years. Genuines are primarily nocturnal, and hunt in packs. They make up in numbers and viciousness what they lack in size and strength, and have been known to have taken down full grown goats and entire flocks of turkeys. A pack of genuines can pose a danger to humans, although reported incidents are relatively rare.
