NParks Wildlife Advisory Video - Civets

Also called Musang in Malay, the Common Palm Civet has spots on its body and a long bushy tail, and appears to wear a black “bandit”-like mask. Civets are nocturnal creatures, and like many other wildlife, they are shy and typically avoid people. In this video, you can learn about where civets' habitat and diet, as well as simple dos and don'ts when you encounter them.

Raising awareness and understanding of our wildlife and their behaviours is important to help foster positive human-wildlife relationships. This allows the community to safely share spaces with wildlife and enjoy the benefits of living close to nature, as we transform into a City in Nature. From otters to wild boars, we all need to do our part and learn about what we should do when encountering wildlife. Find out more in our new wildlife advisory video series, where we share more about the behaviour of wildlife that you may encounter and the most crucial dos and don'ts!
