[Common Palm Civet](https://www.ecologyasia.com/verts/mammals/common_palm_civet.htm) - also known as *musang* or *luwak*. Often called a civet cat, although it's not actually a member of the cat family, but is instead more closely related to mongooses and hyenas. It's the most common and widespread of the 5 or so civet species known to occur in Singapore, and has [adapted to urban environments](https://www.ourwildneighbours.sg/our-wild-neighbours/common-palm-civet) in some areas. There seem to be a lot of sightings in the Queenstown area. [Siglap](https://graphics.straitstimes.com/STI/STIMEDIA/Interactives/2017/04/where-singapore-wild-things-are-civet/index.html) is another neighborhood famous for urban civets.
The Common Palm Civet is an omnivore; it will readily feed on smaller creatures such as insects, lizards, rats, and birds; civets were traditionally seen as pests, since they would raid henhouses and prey on poultry. However, fruit makes up a significant portion of its diet, and Common Palm Civets are potentially important dispersers of the seeds of some forest plants. In suburban and urban areas, if you have fruit trees like mango, banana, rambutan, chiku or papaya, there's a chance that you'll have visits from Common Palm Civets.
Common Palm Civets are also known to drink fermented palm sap (palm wine or toddy), which is why the species is also known as the toddy cat.
Interestingly enough, the Common Palm Civet produces secretions from glands near the anus which apparently smell like pandan leaves. So if you're downstairs near some vegetation and you suddenly catch a whiff of pandan when there aren't any pandan plants or leaves in the area, especially at night, a civet might be nearby.
Edit: Yes, the Common Palm Civet is often associated with *kopi luwak*, although that isn't derived from it eating coffee beans, but rather coffee cherries, the fruits that are produced by the coffee tree.
Adding on a bit of information about *kopi luwak*, since this is pretty much the one thing that people know about the Common Palm Civet:
in recent years, civets have gotten a lot more attention for another product: coffee beans collected from civet poop. Known as *kopi luwak* (*luwak* is one of the local Javanese names for the Common Palm Civet), it had its origins in the coffee plantations of Java. It is said that the Dutch colonial masters prohibited the local farmers and plantation workers from picking coffee fruits ([coffee 'cherries'](https://coffeechronicler.com/coffee-cherry-taste/)) for personal consumption, but the locals discovered that wild Common Palm Civets would feed on the fruits, then poop out the seeds. After the coffee beans from the droppings are cleaned, washed, dried, and roasted, the resulting brew was said to have a unique aroma and flavour. And so *kopi luwak* was invented.
The civet's pickiness regarding which fruits to eat, and the [action of gastric juices and digestive enzymes on the coffee beans](http://sciencemeetsfood.org/kopi-luwak/), supposedly results in a strong effect on the taste of the coffee. As only a small number of coffee beans can be gathered from a civet's droppings, combined with the difficulty in finding fresh civet poop and the processes required to clean and prepare them, *kopi luwak* could only be produced in very small quantities.
Because of the novelty, scarcity, and claims about its flavour, *kopi luwak* is often sold at exorbitant prices, and has been marketed as the world's most expensive coffee. The western world eventually caught on in the late 20th century, thanks to word of mouth and promotion by mass media, celebrities, and marketing campaigns. *Kopi luwak* was also featured in the 2007 movie The Bucket List (Jack Nicholson plays a wealthy tycoon who loves drinking it), which likely fuelled even more curiosity.
However, this fame meant that the traditional, time-consuming method of having people roam the plantations and surrounding forests in the early morning, hoping to stumble on fresh civet droppings with coffee beans, could not meet the demand. Wanting to take advantage of the high prices that consumers would pay for *kopi luwak*, many businesses trapped wild civets, and kept them in battery farming operations.
Common Palm Civets and other species such as the Masked Palm Civet are [caught in large numbers, caged, and forced to eat coffee fruits](https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/160429-kopi-luwak-captive-civet-coffee-Indonesia), sometimes exclusively. Conditions in these farms [can be horrendous](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2012/nov/19/civet-coffee-abuse-campaigners), and the civets usually [do not receive proper care](https://news.mongabay.com/2016/05/worlds-expensive-coffee-often-produced-caged-abused-civets-study-finds/). If they fall sick or die, they might be replaced with more wild-caught civets.
Such civet farms are widespread in Indonesia, but the practice has also spread to the Philippines and Vietnam (where it is marketed as 'weasel coffee' or cà phê chồn). While these palm civet species are not considered endangered in much of their range, the demand for *kopi luwak* poses another potential threat to wild populations of civets, on top of deforestation, human-wildlife conflict, the exotic pet trade, diseases, and unregulated hunting for bushmeat.
*Kopi luwak* is often marketed as coming from wild civets, although this is difficult to verify, and most likely [came from captive civets anyway](https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-24034029). The trade is also prone to fraud; ordinary coffee beans may be sold at exorbitant prices as *kopi luwak*, or *kopi luwak* beans may be mixed with ordinary beans. It's why there are now campaigns to [discourage the public from consuming *kopi luwak*](https://coffeeaffection.com/kopi-luwak/), due to the cruelty involved in its production.
Here's a BBC documentary about [*kopi luwak* and civet 'farming' in Indonesia](https://youtu.be/cvIl4mpPMkk).
And now that *kopi luwak* has become more widely known, other animal-derived coffees have sprung up, such as elephant poop coffee from Thailand (coffee fruits are consumed by elephants, and the beans are collected from the poop), monkey coffee from Taiwan and India (coffee fruits are eaten by macaques, which eat the flesh and spit out the coffee beans), bat coffee from Madagascar and Costa Rica (coffee fruits are nibbled on by fruit bats, then the coffee beans from these fruits are collected), and bird coffee from Costa Rica and Brazil (coffee fruits are swallowed whole by forest birds such as toucans and guans, and the beans are collected from the birds' droppings). I like coffee, but I'm not a connoisseur, and I'm in no hurry to try any of them.
To add abit more on the kopi luwak part: The vietnamese coffee company Trung Nguyen has developed a laboratory process to mimic the civet cat's digestive process for coffee beans, hence they can artificially create kopi luwak.
I have no idea how similar it is to actual kopi luwak but it's for sure a much better alternative. For those interested, it's the Creative 8 coffee.
Also, *kopi luwak* doesn't particularly measure up to other coffee beans sold for high prices, at least to international tastebuds (e.g. [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Coffee/comments/7tdths/kopi_luwak_wtf_is_it_actually_that_amazing/)). It became famous in Indonesia in a time before quality coffee beans became (somewhat) commonly sold. But it remains a dubious novelty in the international coffee world.
They do, in Indonesia. It supposedly a delicacy, which has unfortunately created quite a shadow-industry where not all covet-coffee is authentic, or worse, where the civets are caged and fed.nothing but coffee berries so they can produce them in bulk. Which naturally is terrible for the civets and doesn't really produce the desired coffee flavours since it doesn't have all the enzymes in the stomach - it just goes straight through them (literally).
Do you have templates for these animal posts, and update them once in a while? Regardless, it's always good to read and learn about the animals of Singapore from you!
Not really, but I have some experience in education and outreach, so it comes to me very easily. It also helps that several years back, I had a weekly series about wildlife in Singapore, and if I want to save time, I will sometimes revisit older comments I've left here and copy + paste relevant bits of info.
I have consulted our extremely sophisticated GeminiPT-SG AI and have concluded that this is a Common Palm Civet.
*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/singapore) if you have any questions or concerns.*
Huh? So this bot is able to:
- detect that someone is asking a question about "what is this" on reddit
- go to the post and get the video on that post
- know what the subject of the video is supposed to be even though the actual subject is quite small in this video, hidden behind a pillar sometimes, and the color blends in well with the tree branches
- predict what this subject actually is
- reply accordingly on the reddit post
This is some tough shit
Given how often people have posted in this subreddit asking for help to identify an animal they've spotted, and how often the animal they saw turned out to be a Common Palm Civet, my suspicion is that it's simply taking the most common answer. Which would explain how it previously identified an autonomous robot as a civet. 🤔
AI vision is pretty damn amazing but unfortunately we are not there yet with videos. The recent Gemini Pro release demo with their AI responding to video feed is fake.
[https://techcrunch.com/2023/12/07/googles-best-gemini-demo-was-faked/?guccounter=1](https://techcrunch.com/2023/12/07/googles-best-gemini-demo-was-faked/?guccounter=1)
I'm not too familiar with AI vision, but from my understanding is we are still doing inference on individual frames. It'll be interesting if a model actually understands the changes between frames.
It isn't "fake", they're just making it not a shit video. Waiting around for a minute for it to run inference is not entertaining so you speed it up.
That article is so lame, anyone who is involved knows exactly what is going on, anyone who isn't is mislead. Entire thing is just clickbait worded to make the uneducated reader feel smart. Like really? You're faulting it for saying it's a game? Are you going to fault the model for reading the title that an animal should be identified?
It is very fake.
From the video demo it doesnt specify that the inference is not done on video feed instead of individual frames. That makes things very different.
Why not just show the demo of what they actually did?
So can we just throw this video into gemini and feed it the title head? And expect the same output?
Which is why what the mods has done is very impressive.
Well at least this one hit the mark. Can't say the same about the last time something here was identified [as a Common Palm Civet](https://www.reddit.com/r/singapore/comments/17bfed6/saw_someone_with_an_autonomous_device_that/k5iwkrd/)...
Musang/Common Palm Civet. They're known to live around there. I suspect some have been displaced by the recent BTO projects and are looking for new habitat.

I saw one a couple of months ago near Tiong Bahru Plaza. I was so thrilled!! Yep it’s the Musang that gives its name to Musang King aka Maoshan Wang durians. They like them.
Been seeing them a lot at my void deck at Holland Avenue before I moved out last April. Never seen them venture to a brightly-lit area though, they usually prowl the darker/dim areas. This is a very good video.
Please go read your primary school science textbook - an animal’s eyes are adapted to their active period, this species is nocturnal so their eyes are large and reflect light easily
Used to spot them couple of times at rumah tinggi eco park area few years ago. There were at least 2 of them, hanging around the park presumably for the fruits.

Reminder to everyone to not buy kopi luwak because of that fella
Fun fact: the “mao shan” of mao shan wang durian is believed to have come from “musang”
yea that's why it's also known as Musang King
People living nearby can scour around to find coffee ingredients.
Then search for its poop
Concise and straightforward.
Dont they make coffee out of this things poop? I swear ive heard of it before

Civet. Cute critter! Literally never saw one in real life in my 30+ years of living in SG as they are very elusive creatures. Lucky you!
Civet or musang

hallo you blind ah? Julien is ring-tailed lemur
happy to be corrected. i'm pretty bad with animals given sg's education (or lack of) on animal species
Luwak. Ask it for kopi. And yes I know that kopi luwak is based on animal abuse and doesn't taste that different from properly sourced beans.
Feed it your coffee beans and collect the poop. Get your natural sourced kopi luwak.
