Field Notes
Description:
The Malay civet's tail is black above and ringed on the lower side. Their upperparts are greyish with numerous black spots and about 15 black bands in the tail.
Habitat:
tropical heath forest, 1000m
Notes:
This civet came at night to eat some rice my guide put out at Nepenthes camp in Maliau basin. I was relaxing on the second level of the camp when my guide came up to me and asked if I wanted to see something. Well, of course I did! He shined his flashlight to the ground and we watched the civet. It wasn't bothered by the light and is probably a regular visitor to the camp.
