    Rakesh, you requested the species "Pamunga Larvata" for this photo, but what is that? It is not known anywhere on the web, so where did you get that name from, if I may ask? Posted 10 years ago

      My bad, I assumed the name on the zoo site, link above, should be correct. I guess what they have is the masked palm civet (Paguma larvata)... Posted 10 years ago

        Yeah, the mistake is on the site of zoo, and I haven't verified it. Posted 10 years ago

The Asian palm civet

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.
