Palm Civet Cat at LWC

The African Palm Civet (Nandinia binotata), is sometimes
referred to as the Two-spotted Palm Civet. It is a small
mammal, with short legs, small ears, a body resembling a cat, and a tail as long as its body.

Adults usually weigh 1.70 to 2.10 kg. They are native to the forests of eastern Africa, where they usually inhabit trees.
Their diet is omnivorous, and includes rodents, insects, eggs, carrion, fruit, birds and fruit bats. The animals are generally solitary, and are active at night.

Although they physically resemble other civets (family Viverridae) it has been suggested that the African Palm Civets are genetically distinct.
