Otter Civet (Cynogale bennettii)

Wow, beautiful species!

Indeed - always makes me think of what an Australian Water Rat might look in the future, like given a few million years of evolution...

I know that Batu (Once) keep some rare species, but I seriously didn't expect to see this species. Really caught me off guard.

If I may ask, where is it located in the zoo?

What an exotic species, hopefully we can breed this enigmatic species (better via artificial insemination) !

How many of this species are seen in the park?

@Unenlagia90
Why does this species breed better by artificial insemination?

@Nandito I was at the zoo the first day the animal was on display. So exciting! The exhibit was between the Binturong and Javan Yellow-throated Marten. I've heard the animal is still doing well, but I'm not sure if it's in the same exhibit- I will try to find out.

@Unenlagia90 Only this single male which I named "Nemo" also following up to see if they continue to use the name I chose.

Such a strange looking animal. This looks like a really cool place.

@Nandito I checked in and they said Nemo is off exhibit again for the moment but doing well.

@Unenlagia90 And turns out they're using the name Nemo- 1st and only zoo animal I've ever named!

Wow, a species that I have failed to find any clear non-camera-trap photos of online, and then there is one in a zoo ?!
