sorry, I thought the disambig was needed because Poiana redirected here, but I'd forgetten I'd dealt with that another way. Disambig text now removed again. seglea 07:39, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Image Names

edit

I am sorry if I am doing this incorrectly, but there's something weird with this page. Asiatic linsang and Spotted linsang both contain the same image, but it has a different name on each page. Shouldn't the picture be named either Asiatic or spotted, not both?

Good point. Withal, an animal that is of Least Concern should have a few photos of the live animals available. Kortoso (talk) 18:19, 9 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Any live specimen images?

edit

Seeing as the linsang species are listed as of least concern and widely distributed, it seems a little odd that there are seemingly only taxidermy images on any of these pages. Is there any particular reason why an image of a live specimen would be hard to source? Surely an image of a living animal would always be preferable to a taxidermy as an article header.

A few camera trap images of linsangs exist indeed, but alas, not under the licenses needed for display in wikipedia. -- BhagyaMani (talk) 07:41, 11 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
I'll make a note to get a camera out if I ever happen to see one in a zoo. BlackholeWA (talk) 05:35, 22 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
Can't anyone find a late 1950 depiction of a linsang ? It's always better than an actual corpse if no zoo displays them... Larrayal (talk) 23:27, 26 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
