Banded Palm Civet Exhibit

Did you ever had the chance of seeing a palm civet, or were they just out of your sight lines on the day of your visit?

@Austin the Sengi the civet is sleeping on on one of the branches

@Austin the Sengi Besides the one @PossumRoach pointed out, there was also one sleeping in the tree log next to it. I haven't gotten around to posting my animal photos yet; most likely they'll get uploaded tomorrow.

It’s great to finally see this species back on display in an American zoo! Does this make Memphis the only AZA zoo to display a species of Civet?

@Dhole dude It is not, on account of Binturong also being a civet

As for civets that aren't binturongs, I'm not sure; it's possible, but there have been a very small number of genets and other rare carnivores kicking around in AZA zoos so it's equally possible Memphis isn't unique.

@Coelacanth18 What I meant to say was what species which have Civet in their common name are left in AZA zoos . There are a handful of genets in AZA collections, although their numbers are small, and Binturongs are obviously
everywhere.
