The Malabar large spotted civet is an extremely endangered medium sized catlike member of the Viverridae family, which lives in a very small area in South India. There are said to be fewer than two to three hundred [200 - 300] still left in the wild. One of the main causes of its terrible endangerment is the perfume industry. Fortunately, the component of perfume for which this civet was hunted is now being synthesized by the scent industry.

What do you call a large spotted civet?
What do I call it? If it lived in my house and it was actually a cat I would probably--probably--call it Steven. I might call it Schrodinger, maybe. On the other hand, I think what you are looking for is not the name of a cat [and the civet isn't really a cat anyway]. It's the name for the type of civet that is large and spotted. I think the one you want is the African civet, Civettictis civetta. It is not only covered with spots and of a decent size, it's the one to which most people refer--unless, of course, they are thinking about coffee. Then the Asian palm civet is your culprit--but it is of a different look altogether.
