Common Palm Civet enjoying an Arumanis mango

on 11th June 2019

Art Toh’s video shows a Common Palm Civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus) enjoying a sweet Arumanis mango (Mangifera indica). This is a native Indonesian mango that is now grown in Malaysia. The civet must have pinched the mango and brought it to this tree to enjoy in total privacy… until spotted by Art.

Past posts on the food of this civet cat includes bananas; coffee berries and Giant African Snail (Achatina fulica).
