Otter civet

Cynogale bennettii

Subfamily Hemigalinae (like our good friend: Owston’s palm civet), family Viverridae, suborder Feliforma

It’s a poorly known species due to its rarity snd secrecy. It is nocturnal and is the only one in its genus.

They can close their ears and nose, have webbed feet, and teeth similar to that of a seal.

They walk with their head and tail low and their back arched and they are surprisingly adept climbers. Along with eating freshwater fish, crabs, and mollusks, they also eat birds and fruit they find while climbing.

This animal is classified as endangered due to habitat loss. There is an estimated 50% decline over the past 15 years.
