Oh, a genet !! They live in the forests of Mayotte, I've seen exactly one live before, she was crossing a road in town, around dusk. It's weird because she looked so much like a cat (same overall size), but thinner and longer, and her walk was super straight, like felines do when they're approaching prey and trying to stay low, you know. You could have mistaken her for a cat on a picture... but the way she moved was a total callout.
I have a cat now, very long and thin also, whom I affectionately call "little genet". Heheh
I just checked out the article about the active volcano in Réunion Island, named Le Piton de la Fournaise. That's because I am staying there this month and hoping to catch some lava (not with my hands, duh. I will use a bucket).

From there I read about the Deccan Trapps, a large western part of the indian subcontinent that was pretty much formed by serial lava flows about 60MY ago. Then I was led to the article about LIPs (large igneous provinces), and I'm still fallign down that rabbit hole as we speak. Fascinating stuff

Shit, you're correct. It's hard to believe. It feels like my first play of Portal 2 was just a couple years ago. It has been fourteen years...
