Also known as ‘Toddy Cat,’ found in forests, plantations, and urban areas. Nocturnal and omnivorous, they eat fruits, small vertebrates, and invertebrates. They contribute to seed dispersal and are known for producing civet coffee. These civets are excellent climbers, often found in trees. They have a musky odor, which helps them mark their territory. Despite their solitary nature, they play a crucial role in their ecosystems by controlling insect populations and aiding in forest regeneration through seed dispersal.
