Asian palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus)

INDIAN PARADOXURE, OR PALM-CAT. This graceful animal is about the size of the ordinary house Cat. It is an eager hunter of birds and
small mammals but is also very fond of pineapples, bananas and other fruits and coffee berries, and is therefore very destructive to the plantations of India
and the Malay Peninsula, where it is found. The handsome head and spotted fur are well depicted here, and its long tail is a prominent characteristic and
can be curled by the animal at will, upward as well as downward. The animal in the lower foreground is feeding on small fruit while the other on the tree is
resting and watching. (Paradoxurus niger syn. Paradoxurus hermaphroditus)
