<<Himalayan Palm Civet

Paguma larvata

The Himalayan Palm Civet is distinguished from other Indian Civets by its white whiskers and by absence of any trace of spot or ships on its body.

Its habits are similar to those of the common palm civet.

It lives in mountain and hill forests sheltering in holes in trees and hunting its food in treetops or in the ground.

It lives mainly on fruit but preys on such small animals birds as it can capture and kill.
