The Asian palm civet has a long stocky body covered with coarse hair. This fur is usually gray in color. A white mask crosses the forehead. It features a small white patch under each eye and a white spot near each nostril.

They are omnivores that feed mostly on pulpy fruits. It helps maintain tropical forest ecosystems by dispersing seeds. It eats mango, rambutan, and coffee fruits. They also catch small mammals and insects.

It also feeds on palm flower sap. This sweet fluid turns into palm wine when it ferments. Because of this drinking habit, people call it the toddy cat.

Native to India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Myanmar. They also live across Sri Lanka, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and China. Populations exist in the Philippines and throughout Sumatra, java, and Borneo.
