Asian palm civet was created in 1777.
The Banded Palm Civet, also known as the Asian palm civet, primarily inhabits tropical rainforests and moist deciduous forests. These biomes provide the dense vegetation and abundant food sources, such as fruits and small animals, that the civet relies on for survival. Additionally, they can also be found in secondary forests and agricultural areas near forest edges.
Oh dear. Since I think this response is to the same person who asked me if civets have hooves [no], I guess I better start from the beginning. The common palm civet is a medium sized land mammal, family Viverridae. It is also known as the Asian palm civet [Paradoxurus hermaphroditus]. Yes, it is the one from which is derived Kopi Luwak.

No, common palm civets do not lay eggs. They are mammals and give birth to live young instead. Typically, a female palm civet will have between two to four offspring after a gestation period of about 60 to 75 days.
The palm civet survives by being an omnivorous forager, primarily feeding on fruits, insects, and small animals, which provides it with the necessary nutrients. Its adaptability to various habitats, including forests and rural areas, allows it to find food and shelter easily. Additionally, its nocturnal behavior helps it avoid predators and enhances its foraging success during the night. The palm civet also plays a crucial role in seed dispersal, contributing to the health of its ecosystem.
A banded palm civet is an omnivore, meaning it consumes both plant matter and small animals/insects. It typically eats fruits, insects, and small mammals.

Civet cats belong to the family Viverridae and include several species, with the most notable being the African civet, Asian palm civet, and the Indonesian civet. These species vary in size, habitat, and behavior, but they are generally nocturnal and have a keen sense of smell. The African civet is known for its distinctive markings and is often found in sub-Saharan Africa, while the Asian palm civet is famous for its role in producing kopi luwak coffee. Additionally, there are several other lesser-known species of civets found across Africa and Asia.
