African linsangs are terrestrial animals that develop and live on land, away from bodies of water, and their young develop in nests built on the ground or close to it, as well as high in the branches of shrubs or trees. The species reproduces through live birth, with the female giving birth to a litter of 2–4 young on land, without hatching from eggs or larvae. The female brings forth a litter one or two times per year, and the young remain with their mother for several months. Sexual reproduction is homogamous, involving fertilization without generational changes. The interval between reproductions is 8 months to 1 year, and sexual maturity occurs from 11 months to 1 year and 3 months.
