Civet is a small, lithe-bodied, mostly nocturnal mammal native to tropical Asia and Africa, especially the tropical forests. The term civet applies to over a dozen different mammal species. Most of the species diversity is found in southeast Asia. The most well-known civet species is the African Civet, Civettictis civetta, which historically has been the main species from which was obtained a musky scent used in perfumery. The word civetmay also refer to the distinctive musky scent produced by the animals.

Malabar civets reproduce sexually. Mating typically occurs during the breeding season, which varies depending on the region. Females give birth to typically 1-2 offspring after a gestation period of around 2 months. Young Malabar civets are raised by their mother and are independent after several months.
They eat little animal such as lizard or birds.
Yes, civets are capable climbers. They have strong limbs and sharp claws that allow them to navigate trees and other elevated surfaces with ease. This climbing ability helps them access food sources, such as fruits and insects, found in the canopy of forests.
Oh dear. Civets do not have split hooves. Nor do they, in fact, have cloven hooves. Civets do not have hooves at all. They are, indeed, like the horse, the zebra, the ox, the red river hog--they are mammals. But they are not the same type of mammals at all. Civets, instead, are somewhat catlike. They look a bit like a cat crossed with, say, a lemur and a raccoon and maybe--maybe--a ferret. None of these animals has a single hoof.
Yes they are mammals. They are in the suborder Feliforma, which includes cats, civets, and hyenas.
Civet cats are from the Viverridae family found in Africa and they are mainly nocturnal animals. They eat mainly fruit including coffee fruit, mango fruit, and rambutans.
