"Brown palm civet" also called the "Jerdon's palm civet" is a civet endemic to the Western Ghats of India. There are two subspecies, the nominate "P. j. jerdoni" and "P. j. caniscus". The Sulawesi palm civet is sometimes referred to by the same English name due to its brown colour.
The brown palm civet's distribution extends from the southern tip of Western Ghats in Kalakkad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve to Castle Rock in Goa to the north. They are nocturnal, and not as rare as previously thought and sight records of the species in Kodaikanal and Ootacamund where they were earlier considered to be locally extinct are an indication of their ability to go unnoticed.
The brown palm civet has a uniformly brown pelage, darker around the head, neck, shoulder, legs, and tail. Sometimes the pelage may be slightly grizzled. Two subspecies have been described on the basis of the colour of the pelage although the colour is extremely variable, ranging from pale buff or light brown to dark brown. The dark tail sometimes has a white or pale-yellow tip. It has no distinct markings on the body or the face as in the common palm civet. A distinctive feature is the reversed direction of hair growth on the nape, similar to that in the golden palm civet of Sri Lanka. It is about as large as the Common Palm Civet, but with a long and sleek tail. The body weight of the males ranges from 3.6 kg to 4.3 kg, head and body length 430 mm to 620 mm, and tail length from 380 to 530 mm. The species was described in 1885 on the basis of a skull and pelt obtained in Kodaikanal by Mr F. Levinge and forwarded by Rev. S. B. Fairbank to W T Blanford. Blanford noted the long foramen on the anterior palate. He also found the pelt matching another specimen collected by Francis Day. Blanford named the species in honour of T. C. Jerdon. Subspecies "caniscus" was described by R I Pocock on the basis of a specimen collected at Virajpet in southern Coorg.

The "masked palm civet" or "gem-faced civet" is a civet species native to the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It is classified by IUCN in 2008 as Least Concern as it occurs in many protected areas, is tolerant to some degree of habitat modification, and widely distributed with presumed large populations that are unlikely to be declining.
The genus "Paguma" was first named and described by John Edward Gray in 1831. All described forms are regarded as a single species.
In recent times, masked palm civets were considered to be a likely vector of SARS.
In morphology the masked palm civet resembles other civets. Unlike most civets though, its orange-brown to gray fur completely lacks spots, stripes, and other patterns besides a mask.
That mask consists of a prominent white stripe stretching from nose to forehead that halves a black mask that extends laterally to the far edges of the cheeks and caudally up the forehead, past the ears, and down the back of the neck before stopping just under the shoulder blades. The eyes are surrounded by white fur that can vary from faint, incomplete outlines to well-defined . The lips, chin, and throat are white. In some, white stripes of fur, comparable to sideburns on humans due to shape and location, curve up from the throat. These curves vary in thickness and have ends that terminate either in small blotches at the ear base or large blotches that surround the base of both darkly furred ears.
No matter which coat it sports, masked palm civet's feet are always dark, often black, and the melanism usually extends partway up the legs in varying distances and intensities depending on the individual. The end of a masked palm civet's tail is sometimes darker than the majority of its coat. This difference in pigmentation can vary from a few shades darker than its coat to solid black and can cover a fourth to half of the tail.

Common palm civet. This cute little 'bandit' of a beast is sometimes seen at dusk or at night. But it is quiet and shy and easily spooked. It is not a cat!
According to Baker, in Singapore, it is widespread and common even in urban areas where it lives in the roof spaces of buildings and forages in gardens. They travel between houses via telephone wires, poles and trees. It is also found in forest, scrubland, parks and mangroves. It is more active at night and tends to stay in the trees and high places (arboreal).
Features: Head and body to 59cm, tail to 53cm. Long sleek body with short limbs and a long tail. It has a long muzzle and small ears. Body dark greyish brown with three fine, broken black stripes along the back and black spots on the sides. It has a black 'mask' across a pale face and black ears and paws. The tail is black with a white tip.
What does it eat? It is omnivorous and is said to have a particular fondness for fruits. But it also eats insects and small animals that it can catch.
Baby civets: Civet cats are not social and usually live alone. Except for a mother and her young. Mama civet gives birth to 2-5 kittens, usually in a tree hollow, crevice or other hiding place. Babies are born with their eyes closed. They are mature at 11-12 months. Civet cats can live for 22-24 years.
Role in the habitat: As a fruit eater, it helps to disperse seeds and contributes to the regeneration of forests.It is also called the Toddycat for its apparent fondness for stealiing the sap collected from palm trees, the same sap used to make the alcoholic drink called 'toddy'. The Toddycat and Palm leaf is part of the logo of the Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research (RMBR) at the National University of Singapore. Here's more about the logo. The Malay name for it is 'musang'.
Civet-processed coffee: 'Kopi Luwak' is a type of expensive gourmet coffee made from coffee beans that have been 'processed' by a civet cat. The civet cat eats the coffee beans, which passes out and are collected to be made into coffee for humans to drink! Unfortunately, the demand has resulted in cruel abuse of civet cats to produce this coffee. Please do not support this product! More details on the Project LUWAK SG facebook page.
Civet cats and SARS: Although widely reported to harbour and transmit SARS, there is no conclusive scientific evidence for this.
The animals implicated in the SARS outbreak were masked palm civets (Paguma larvata) and not our Common palm civet. And there is no evidence of a direct link between these civet cats and the SARS outbreak in China. Besides the civet cat, two other kinds of animals were implicated as possible SARS reservoirs: the Raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) and the Chinese ferret badger (Melogale moschata).
The SARS outbreak, however, does point to the dangers of viruses jumping from wild species due to human consumption of wildlife and closer interaction with wildlife as we encroach on and destroy wild habitats.http://www.wildsingapore.com/wildfacts/vertebrates/mammals/hermaphroditus.htm

While I was volunteering at Shaldon Zoo I was lucky enough to feed these civets and get quite close to them. These interesting animals natural range includes Southern China, Vietnam and Northern Laos. However this species is threatened in the wild due to human activities, primarily deforestation resulting their drastically declining in the last few decades.

In 2012, it was suggested that recent increases in capturing the animals for Kopi Luwak production may constitute a significant threat to wild civet populations.
The Asian palm civet is a small, mottled gray and black viverrid weighing 2 to. It has a body length of about 53 cm with a 48 cm long tail. Its long, stocky body is covered with coarse, shaggy hair that is usually greyish in color. There is a white mask across the forehead, a small white patch under each eye, a white spot on each side of the nostrils, and a narrow dark line between the eyes. The muzzle, ears, lower legs, and distal half of the tail are black, with three rows of black markings on the body. The tail is without rings, unlike in similar civet species. Anal scent glands emit a nauseating secretion as a chemical defense when threatened or upset. Despite its species name "hermaphroditus", the civets have two distinct sexes and are not hermaphrodites.
Asian palm civets are native to India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Singapore, Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, Sarawak, Brunei Darussalam, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Philippines and the Indonesian islands of Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Bawean and Siberut. They were introduced to Irian Jaya, the Lesser Sunda Islands, Maluku, Sulawesi and Japan. In Papua New Guinea, their presence is uncertain.

Brown palm civet - Video Learning - WizScience.com
"Brown palm civet" also called the "Jerdon's palm civet" is a civet endemic to the Western Ghats of India. There are two subspecies, the nominate "P. j. jerdoni" and "P. j. caniscus". The Sulawesi palm civet is sometimes referred to by the same English name due to its brown colour. The brown palm civet's distribution extends from the southern tip of Western Ghats in Kalakkad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve to Castle Rock in Goa to the north. They are nocturnal, and not as rare as previously thought and sight records of the species in Kodaikanal and Ootacamund where they were earlier considered to be locally extinct are an indication of their ability to go unnoticed. The brown palm civet has a uniformly brown pelage, darker around the head, neck, shoulder, legs, and tail. Sometimes the ... -
Masked palm civet - Video Learning - WizScience.com
The "masked palm civet" or "gem-faced civet" is a civet species native to the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It is classified by IUCN in 2008 as Least Concern as it occurs in many protected areas, is tolerant to some degree of habitat modification, and widely distributed with presumed large populations that are unlikely to be declining. The genus "Paguma" was first named and described by John Edward Gray in 1831. All described forms are regarded as a single species. In recent times, masked palm civets were considered to be a likely vector of SARS. In morphology the masked palm civet resembles other civets. Unlike most civets though, its orange-brown to gray fur completely lacks spots, stripes, and other patterns besides a mask. That mask consists of a prominent white... -

Common/Asian palm civet n Baby. Former Bidadari Cemetary Singapore.
Common palm civet. This cute little 'bandit' of a beast is sometimes seen at dusk or at night. But it is quiet and shy and easily spooked. It is not a cat! According to Baker, in Singapore, it is widespread and common even in urban areas where it lives in the roof spaces of buildings and forages in gardens. They travel between houses via telephone wires, poles and trees. It is also found in forest, scrubland, parks and mangroves. It is more active at night and tends to stay in the trees and high places (arboreal). Features: Head and body to 59cm, tail to 53cm. Long sleek body with short limbs and a long tail. It has a long muzzle and small ears. Body dark greyish brown with three fine, broken black stripes along the back and black spots on the sides. It has a black 'mask' across a pale ... -
Owston's Palm Civets, Shaldon Zoo (2nd September 2013)
While I was volunteering at Shaldon Zoo I was lucky enough to feed these civets and get quite close to them. These interesting animals natural range includes Southern China, Vietnam and Northern Laos. However this species is threatened in the wild due to human activities, primarily deforestation resulting their drastically declining in the last few decades. -

They are nocturnal, and not as rare as previously thought and sight records of the species in Kodaikanal and Ootacamund where they were earlier considered to be locally extinct are an indication of their ability to go unnoticed.
The brown palm civet has a uniformly brown pelage, darker around the head, neck, shoulder, legs, and tail. Sometimes the pelage may be slightly grizzled. Two subspecies have been described on the basis of the colour of the pelage although the colour is extremely variable, ranging from pale buff or light brown to dark brown. The dark tail sometimes has a white or pale-yellow tip. It has no distinct markings on the body or the face as in the common palm civet. A distinctive feature is the reversed direction of hair growth on the nape, similar to that in the golden palm civet of Sri Lanka. It is about as large as the Common Palm Civet, but with a long and sleek tail. The body weight of the males ranges from 3.6 kg to 4.3 kg, head and body length 430 mm to 620 mm, and tail length from 380 to 530 mm. The species was described in 1885 on the basis of a skull and pelt obtained in Kodaikanal by Mr F. Levinge and forwarded by Rev. S. B. Fairbank to W T Blanford. Blanford noted the long foramen on the anterior palate. He also found the pelt matching another specimen collected by Francis Day. Blanford named the species in honour of T. C. Jerdon. Subspecies "caniscus" was described by R I Pocock on the basis of a specimen collected at Virajpet in southern Coorg.

The "masked palm civet" or "gem-faced civet" is a civet species native to the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It is classified by IUCN in 2008 as Least Concern as it occurs in many protected areas, is tolerant to some degree of habitat modification, and widely distributed with presumed large populations that are unlikely to be declining.
The genus "Paguma" was first named and described by John Edward Gray in 1831. All described forms are regarded as a single species.
In recent times, masked palm civets were considered to be a likely vector of SARS.
In morphology the masked palm civet resembles other civets. Unlike most civets though, its orange-brown to gray fur completely lacks spots, stripes, and other patterns besides a mask.
That mask consists of a prominent white stripe stretching from nose to forehead that halves a black mask that extends laterally to the far edges of the cheeks and caudally up the forehead, past the ears, and down the back of the neck before stopping just under the shoulder blades. The eyes are surrounded by white fur that can vary from faint, incomplete outlines to well-defined . The lips, chin, and throat are white. In some, white stripes of fur, comparable to sideburns on humans due to shape and location, curve up from the throat. These curves vary in thickness and have ends that terminate either in small blotches at the ear base or large blotches that surround the base of both darkly furred ears.
No matter which coat it sports, masked palm civet's feet are always dark, often black, and the melanism usually extends partway up the legs in varying distances and intensities depending on the individual. The end of a masked palm civet's tail is sometimes darker than the majority of its coat. This difference in pigmentation can vary from a few shades darker than its coat to solid black and can cover a fourth to half of the tail.

Common palm civet. This cute little 'bandit' of a beast is sometimes seen at dusk or at night. But it is quiet and shy and easily spooked. It is not a cat!
According to Baker, in Singapore, it is widespread and common even in urban areas where it lives in the roof spaces of buildings and forages in gardens. They travel between houses via telephone wires, poles and trees. It is also found in forest, scrubland, parks and mangroves. It is more active at night and tends to stay in the trees and high places (arboreal).
Features: Head and body to 59cm, tail to 53cm. Long sleek body with short limbs and a long tail. It has a long muzzle and small ears. Body dark greyish brown with three fine, broken black stripes along the back and black spots on the sides. It has a black 'mask' across a pale face and black ears and paws. The tail is black with a white tip.
What does it eat? It is omnivorous and is said to have a particular fondness for fruits. But it also eats insects and small animals that it can catch.
Baby civets: Civet cats are not social and usually live alone. Except for a mother and her young. Mama civet gives birth to 2-5 kittens, usually in a tree hollow, crevice or other hiding place. Babies are born with their eyes closed. They are mature at 11-12 months. Civet cats can live for 22-24 years.
Role in the habitat: As a fruit eater, it helps to disperse seeds and contributes to the regeneration of forests.It is also called the Toddycat for its apparent fondness for stealiing the sap collected from palm trees, the same sap used to make the alcoholic drink called 'toddy'. The Toddycat and Palm leaf is part of the logo of the Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research (RMBR) at the National University of Singapore. Here's more about the logo. The Malay name for it is 'musang'.
Civet-processed coffee: 'Kopi Luwak' is a type of expensive gourmet coffee made from coffee beans that have been 'processed' by a civet cat. The civet cat eats the coffee beans, which passes out and are collected to be made into coffee for humans to drink! Unfortunately, the demand has resulted in cruel abuse of civet cats to produce this coffee. Please do not support this product! More details on the Project LUWAK SG facebook page.
Civet cats and SARS: Although widely reported to harbour and transmit SARS, there is no conclusive scientific evidence for this.
The animals implicated in the SARS outbreak were masked palm civets (Paguma larvata) and not our Common palm civet. And there is no evidence of a direct link between these civet cats and the SARS outbreak in China. Besides the civet cat, two other kinds of animals were implicated as possible SARS reservoirs: the Raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) and the Chinese ferret badger (Melogale moschata).
The SARS outbreak, however, does point to the dangers of viruses jumping from wild species due to human consumption of wildlife and closer interaction with wildlife as we encroach on and destroy wild habitats.http://www.wildsingapore.com/wildfacts/vertebrates/mammals/hermaphroditus.htm
wn.com/Common Asian Palm Civet N Baby. Former Bidadari Cemetary Singapore.
Common palm civet. This cute little 'bandit' of a beast is sometimes seen at dusk or at night. But it is quiet and shy and easily spooked. It is not a cat!
According to Baker, in Singapore, it is widespread and common even in urban areas where it lives in the roof spaces of buildings and forages in gardens. They travel between houses via telephone wires, poles and trees. It is also found in forest, scrubland, parks and mangroves. It is more active at night and tends to stay in the trees and high places (arboreal).
Features: Head and body to 59cm, tail to 53cm. Long sleek body with short limbs and a long tail. It has a long muzzle and small ears. Body dark greyish brown with three fine, broken black stripes along the back and black spots on the sides. It has a black 'mask' across a pale face and black ears and paws. The tail is black with a white tip.
What does it eat? It is omnivorous and is said to have a particular fondness for fruits. But it also eats insects and small animals that it can catch.
Baby civets: Civet cats are not social and usually live alone. Except for a mother and her young. Mama civet gives birth to 2-5 kittens, usually in a tree hollow, crevice or other hiding place. Babies are born with their eyes closed. They are mature at 11-12 months. Civet cats can live for 22-24 years.
Role in the habitat: As a fruit eater, it helps to disperse seeds and contributes to the regeneration of forests.It is also called the Toddycat for its apparent fondness for stealiing the sap collected from palm trees, the same sap used to make the alcoholic drink called 'toddy'. The Toddycat and Palm leaf is part of the logo of the Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research (RMBR) at the National University of Singapore. Here's more about the logo. The Malay name for it is 'musang'.
Civet-processed coffee: 'Kopi Luwak' is a type of expensive gourmet coffee made from coffee beans that have been 'processed' by a civet cat. The civet cat eats the coffee beans, which passes out and are collected to be made into coffee for humans to drink! Unfortunately, the demand has resulted in cruel abuse of civet cats to produce this coffee. Please do not support this product! More details on the Project LUWAK SG facebook page.
Civet cats and SARS: Although widely reported to harbour and transmit SARS, there is no conclusive scientific evidence for this.
The animals implicated in the SARS outbreak were masked palm civets (Paguma larvata) and not our Common palm civet. And there is no evidence of a direct link between these civet cats and the SARS outbreak in China. Besides the civet cat, two other kinds of animals were implicated as possible SARS reservoirs: the Raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) and the Chinese ferret badger (Melogale moschata).
The SARS outbreak, however, does point to the dangers of viruses jumping from wild species due to human consumption of wildlife and closer interaction with wildlife as we encroach on and destroy wild habitats.http://www.wildsingapore.com/wildfacts/vertebrates/mammals/hermaphroditus.htm

While I was volunteering at Shaldon Zoo I was lucky enough to feed these civets and get quite close to them. These interesting animals natural range includes Southern China, Vietnam and Northern Laos. However this species is threatened in the wild due to human activities, primarily deforestation resulting their drastically declining in the last few decades.

The "Asian palm civet" , also called "toddy cat", is a small member of the Viverridae family native to South and Southeast Asia. In 2008, the IUCN classified the species as Least Concern as it is tolerant of a broad range of habitats. It is widely distributed with large populations that in 2008 were thought unlikely to be declining. In 2012, it was suggested that recent increases in capturing the animals for Kopi Luwak production may constitute a significant threat to wild civet populations.
The Asian palm civet is a small, mottled gray and black viverrid weighing 2 to. It has a body length of about 53 cm with a 48 cm long tail. Its long, stocky body is covered with coarse, shaggy hair that is usually greyish in color. There is a white mask across the forehead, a small white patch under each eye, a white spot on each side of the nostrils, and a narrow dark line between the eyes. The muzzle, ears, lower legs, and distal half of the tail are black, with three rows of black markings on the body. The tail is without rings, unlike in similar civet species. Anal scent glands emit a nauseating secretion as a chemical defense when threatened or upset. Despite its species name "hermaphroditus", the civets have two distinct sexes and are not hermaphrodites.
Asian palm civets are native to India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Singapore, Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, Sarawak, Brunei Darussalam, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Philippines and the Indonesian islands of Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Bawean and Siberut. They were introduced to Irian Jaya, the Lesser Sunda Islands, Maluku, Sulawesi and Japan. In Papua New Guinea, their presence is uncertain.
