Topic: [APPROVED] bassariscus genus BUR

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #6535 is active.

remove implication ring-tailed_cat (643) -> procyonid (45930)
remove implication cacomistle (491) -> procyonid (45930)
create implication bassariscus (1089) -> procyonid (45930)

Reason: The ring-tailed cat and cacomistle look extremely similar, so I think a tag for their genus (bassariscus) would be quite useful, if we know a character is one of the two species but can't tell which.

We have other genus tags on e621, including felis, canis, and urocyon, so there is precedent.

After:
imply ring-tailed_cat -> bassariscus imply cacomistle -> bassariscus

EDIT: The bulk update request #6535 (forum #390695) has been approved by @slyroon.

There's also a breed of domestic_cat called the "American ringtail". Haven't seen them in furry art, but might be something to be aware of.

If it becomes an issue later on we can add a suffix but for now imo it's fine how it is, since there's no american ringtail cats on the site
