   I can't tell you whether to believe this, for he states that kittycats   
   and a variety of other furry carnivores are among the "viverrids,"   
   which I believe is completely wrong, the viverridae being the small   
   family of civets.   
      
   As for ailouromorphic, he writes it out in italics as the Greek word,   
   ailouromorphos, so I don't know what book I got ailouromorphic from.   
   In any case, this is how he spells stuff.
