What is the scientific name for the civet cat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The scientific name of the civet cat is dependent upon the genera and species of civet. There are many. Almost all civets are grouped beneath the family Viverridae with the African Palm Civet the lone member of the family Nandiniidae. Civets' genera and species names, however, are multiple. For example, the masked palm civet's binomial name is Paguma larvata while the binomial name of the African civet [not the African palm civet] is Civettictis civetta.

If you need the scientific name of a specific species of civet cat, it is easy to look up civets and go from there.

What are some unusual characteristics of harp seals?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

"Seals are fast swimmers, and spend most of the year in the sea. Harp seals migrate south in the autumn and north in the summer, which can be a journey of up to 8,000 km total. They can also move very quickly across the ice. Harp seals are known to eat at least 67 different species of fish and 70 species of invertebrates. The diets of these diverse eaters also vary according to age, season, location, and year. Despite claims to the contrary, it is clear that Atlantic cod, including the northern cod stock, are only a minor component of the annual harp seal diet."
