Golden Palm Civet (Paradoxurus zeylonensis) is a civet endemic to Sri Lanka. It is a smallish civet and has a coat that is a golden brown color. The hair on the back of its neck grows reverse grain, from the shoulders toward the head. It is poorly studied, but it is thought to feed on fruits, berries, insects, birds, frogs, and lizards.
