The large Indian civet (Viverra zibetha) is a civet native to South and Southeast Asia. It is listed as Near Threatened by IUCN since 2008, mainly because of trapping-driven declines in heavily hunted and fragmented areas, notably in China, and the heavy trade as wild meat.
Large Indian civets are generally grizzled greyish brown, with white and black bars along the neck, a white muzzle, and usually two white stripes and three black stripes on the tail. The hair on the back is longer. The claws are retractable, and there is hair in between the paw pads. They are almost as big as a binturong and an African civet, with a head-and-body length ranging from 50 to 95 cm (20 to 37 in) and 38 to 59 cm (15 to 23 in) long tail. The hind foot measures 9 to 14.5 cm (3.5 to 5.7 in). Their weight ranges from 3.4 to 9.2 kg (7.5 to 20.3 lb).
The large Indian civet ranges from Nepal, northeast India, Bhutan, Bangladesh to Myanmar, Thailand, the Malay peninsula and Singapore to Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and China.
Trapped for ecology and emerging disease research then released back to the wild on 16 January 2011 near Thikhong, Thungyai naresuan Wildlife Sanctuary.
The large Indian civet (Viverra zibetha) is native to Thailand and listed as Near Threatened by IUCN since 2008, mainly due to trapping and hunting. This particular civet was caught on our camera trap located just above the village of Mae Kampong in Chiang Mai and close to our zipline canopy tour. In an effort to better understand and protect the wildlife in each of our locations, our team has begun testing motion activated camera traps throughout the jungle. The goal for this project is to further research wildlife in the area, which will help to improve future conservation and environmental initiatives in each location.
