The linsangs are remarkable for their morphological resemblance to cats, family Felidae, which is greater than in the other viverrids.
As the relationship between linsangs and cats was thought to be rather distant (the two groups belonging to different families within the superfamily Feliformia), this was considered an example of convergent evolution.
However, DNA analysis indicates that while the African linsangs (Poiana) are true viverrids closely related to the genets, the Asiatic linsangs (Prionodon) are not and may instead be the closest living relatives of the Felidae family.

Viverrids range in size from the African Linsang with a body length of 33cm, and a weight of 650g, to the African Civet at 84cm and 18kg.
The Madagascan Fossa Cryptoprocta ferox was similarly long thought to be a member of Viverridae, but genetic evidence indicates that this animal is a member of the family Eupleridae, an endemic Madagascan carnivore radiation related to the family Herpestidae.
Furthermore, recent genetic research indicates that the Asiatic linsangs of the genus Prionodon, may be more closely related to the species of the family Felidae; if so, then they should be removed from Viverridae and placed in their own family, Prionodontidae.

The linsangs are four species traditionally classified in the mammalian family Viverridae, which also includes the civets and genets.
They are grouped into two genera: two species in the African genus Poiana and the other two in the Southeast Asian genus Prionodon.Both linsang genera have generally been placed in the subfamily Viverrinae, along with several others, but recent research suggests that their actual relationships may be somewhat different.
However, DNA analysis indicates that while the African linsangs (Poiana) are true viverrids, the Asiatic linsangs (Prionodon) may instead be the closest living relatives of the Felidae family[1].
