hose 's palm civet ( diplogale hosei ) , also known as hose 's civet , is a civet species endemic to the island of borneo .

it is listed on the iucn red list as vulnerable because of an ongoing population decline , estimated to be more than 30 % over the last three generations ( inferred to be 15 years ) and suspected to be more than 30 % in the next three generations due to declines in population inferred from habitat destruction and degradation .

diplogale is a monospecific genus .

hose 's palm civet was named after the zoologist charles hose by oldfield thomas in 1892 .

hose collected the first specimen in sarawak in 1891 .

what little is known of the species comes primarily from 17 museum specimens worldwide .

only in 1997 , the first living specimen was obtained and released after 2 months – there remains no hose ’s civet in captivity anywhere in the world .

the wildlife conservation society , upper baram project , malaysia , had obtained an interesting series of camera trap photos in 2004 on the unlogged areas of mount murud kecil , sarawak . one is of this slender unknown civet , shown above , with a very long tail , pale underparts and white around the muzzle , similar to hose’s palm civet . this individual was photographed on the ridge of the mountain , far from the streams which are the hose’s palm civet’s supposed habitat .

as opposed to this ( 2005 ) media - celebrated “new animal , ” i said it seemed more proper to say this might be a probable “rediscovery” of an extinct form , the hose’s palm civet , as can be seen in a drawing from the excellent lioncrusher reference site and shown directly below this paragraph . the hose’s palm civet appeared to me to be what was photographed from borneo .

hose’s civet is endemic to the island of borneo , where it occurs in sabah and sarawak ( malaysia ) and brunei ( 1 ) .

the markings on its face resemble a raccoons facial markings . its tail does not have rings , unlike similar palm civet species . the common palm civet has sharp claws which allow it to climb trees and house gutters .

the common palm civet ( paradoxurus hermaphroditus ) , also known as the’ asian palm civet’ ‘musang’ or the ‘toddy cat’ , is a cat - sized mammal that resides in the southeast asian tropical rainforests . the common palm civet is found from the himalayas and southern china , to the philippines , the malay peninsula and the indonesian islands .

hose ' s civet is taken as part of general mammal hunting for food across its range . there is no evidence of specific targeting by hunters .

owston ' s palm civets can be found in the forests and wooded lowlands of northern vietnam , northern laos and southern china .

btw , here’s an interesting coincidence . i thought it might be hose’s palm civet , which was first described by thomas in 1892 , 1915 . if it is thomas’ flying squirrel , aeromys thomasi , i see the person that described this animal was hose , in 1900 . it appears hose and thomas were friends , associates , or , at least , overlapped each other in their discoveries . apparently , their lives are intertwined , once again , in this 2003 - 2007 dilemma .

common palm civets reproduce throughout the year although it has been recorded that kittens are most often seen from october to december . kittens are born in a litter of 2 to 5 young . palm civets become sexually mature at 11 to 12 months . in captivity the common palm civet can live up to 22 years .

the common palm civet has black markings on its feet , ears and muzzle . it also has three rows of black markings on its main body .

i compared the photos from mount murud kecil ( directly above ) , with this drawing ( below ) of the newly discovered borneo " civet . " i thought in 2005 that a good case could to be made that the allegedly “new borneo animal” was the supposedly extinct ( since 1955 ) hose’s palm civet . i observed it might be similar to the above photographed " underreported " unknown civet from mount murud kecil .

the wall street journal ran a front page lead story on the palm oil scandal .

the borneo rainforest is one of the few remaining natural habitats for the endangered orangutan . it is an important refuge for many endemic forest species , including the borneo elephant , the eastern sumatran rhinoceros , the bornean clouded leopard , the hose ' s palm civet and the dayak fruit bat .

in 2005 , the world wide fund for nature released photos taken by a night time camera trap of an unknown carnivore ( nicknamed the cat - fox ) on borneo . scientists debate whether this animal is new species of civet , or a known , but rare , species ( such as hose ' s palm civet , thought previously to be extinct ) .

it is likely that habitat loss and degradation are major threats to hose’s civet , as throughout borneo , forests have been lost to logging and converted for other land - uses ( 7 ) ( 8 ) .

the mating system of hose ' s civets is not known due to the elusive nature of the species and the lack of individuals in captivity .

the elusive hose’s civet ( diplogale hosei ) is so rare that it has only been caught on film once . prior to 2004 , the only descriptions of this species came from observations of fifteen museum specimens ( 2 ) .

wild fires were being set in borneo to clear land for logging and planting of palm oil plantations .

industry , and captured civets are kept specifically for the production of “civet musk . ” for this reason the african civet is probably the most economically important viverrid .

the conversion of forest to palm oil plantations is of particular concern ( 8 ) . as the demand for palm oil , which is used for food products , detergents , cosmetics and biofuel , grows , the pressure on borneo’s forests is likely to increase ( 9 ) .

there are no known direct economic benefits of hose ' s civets , as they are almost unknown to humans and live in an unpopulated area . other members of the

the banded palm civet has a long pointed face , reminiscent of insectivorous mammals . it has a long body set on short legs , and five toes on each foot with retractable claws . it looks very similar to owston ' s palm civet ( chrotogale owstoni ) , except that it lacks spots on its body , and the hair on its neck points upwards instead of down along the neck . it is also similar to the rare hose ' s palm civet ( diplogale hosei ) , an endemic of northern borneo - they only differ in shape of muzzle and teeth and hose ' s civet does not have the banded pelage of the banded civet . banded civet has short , dense fur that is generally a dark cream / buff color with four to five dark bands on its back . its tail has two dark bands and the latter half of the tail is dark brown to black . there is a dark brown stripe that extends down the length of the top of the muzzle , and two stripes that extend from the top middle of the eye to the inside corner of the ears . there are two areas of white above and below each eye , and the muzzle is darker than the rest of the face .

palm oil is principally produced in one area of the world : indonesia and malaysia . just a few years ago indonesia and malaysia accounted for 88 % of world production and 91 % of world trade in palm oil .

while these are the " true civets , " other mammalian species in other families also have the common name of civet . the african palm civet ( nandinia binotata ) is a slender - bodied , arboreal mammal that is the only extant member of the family nandiniidae . the malagasy civet or striped civet ( fossa fossana ) is a rare member of the eupleridae family ( a taxon of " malagasy carnivores " ) . spotted skunks , comprising the genus spilogale in the even more distant family mephitidae , are sometimes called " civet cats . "

as the only individual held in captivity was released after 2 and a half months , the lifespan of hose ' s civets in captivity or the wild is not known .

common palm civets are classed as ‘least concern’ . it is plentiful in its natural range and is not endangered .

virologists have speculated that the source of the sars - cov virus , which had a significant outbreak in asia in 2003 , can be traced back to a particular species of civet , the masked palm civet . many people hunt the masked palm civet for its meat . it has been speculated that through such practices the sars virus was first introduced to humans . however , the possibility remains that the virus may have been contracted in some other unknown animal before infecting the masked palm civet . since this information has been exposed to the public , the ingestion of civets in asia has dropped drastically , going from 51 percent of people that do not eat civets to 72 percent ( ap 2006 ) .

the civet produces a musk ( also called civet ) highly valued as a fragrance and stabilizing agent for perfume . both male and female civets produce the strong - smelling secretion , which is produced by the civet ' s perineal glands ( not anal scent glands as in the mustelidae family and in the skunks of the mephitidae family ) .

the common palm civet weighs around 3 . 2 kilograms ( 7 pounds ) and has a body length of 53 centimetres ( 21 inches ) . the common palm has a tail length of 48 centimetres ( 19 inches ) . its long , stocky body is covered with coarse , shaggy hair that is usually a greyish colour .

, hose ' s civets have glands for scent - marking ; how extensively they use them , however , is unknown . vocalizations have not been mentioned in any reported live observations .

owston ' s palm civets have a body length between 51 and 64 cms ( 20 - 25 inches ) and a tail length between 38 and 48 cms ( 15 - 19 inches ) .

hose’s civet is legally protected in both sarawak and sabah ( 1 ) . it is also known to occur in a number of protected areas , such as mount kinabulu national park in sabah and ulu temburong national park in brunei ( 1 ) , which may offer its habitat some protection .

common palm civets live in tropical forested habitats , parks and suburban gardens where mature fruit trees and fig trees grow and undisturbed vegetation .

the banded palm civet ( hemigalus derbyanus ) , also called the banded civet , is a civet found in the sundaic region and occurs in peninsular myanmar , peninsular malaysia , peninsular thailand and in indonesia on the islands of sipura , sumatra and borneo . it is listed as vulnerable because of an ongoing population decline , estimated to be more than 30 % over the last three generations , inferred from over - exploitation , decline in habitat quality , and habitat destruction and degradation .

the common palm civet is a nocturnal omnivore . its primary food source is fruit such as chiku ( from a long - lived , evergreen tree native to the new world tropics ) , mango ( a tropical fruit of the mango tree ) and rambutan ( a medium - sized tropical tree ) . it also has a fondness for palm flower sap which , when fermented , becomes ‘toddy’ , a sweet liquor .

little is known about the habitat of the rarely - seen hose’s civet ( 5 ) . it has been recorded in forest , in places where the ground was exceedingly wet and moss covered the rocks and trees ( 2 ) . it is thought to inhabit areas at elevations between 450 and 1 , 700 metres ( 5 ) ( 6 ) .

in sri lanka , the asian palm civet ( paradoxurus hermaphroditus ) is known as " uguduwa " by the sinhala speaking community . the term uguduwa and kalawedda is used interchangeably by the sri lankan community to refer to the same animal . however , the term kalawedda is mostly used to refer to a different species of the civet family , which is similar in appearance to the ring - tailed cat .

because of the few records of hose’s civet and the paucity of research on the species , it is difficult to characterise even the current major threats , let alone minor and future ones . based on the gis exercise as part of this assessment ( see sections on ' range description ' and ' population ' for details of this gis exercise ) , it was predicted that between 2000 and 2010 , only around 3 - 7 % of forests in potentially suitable land - cover classes were lost . this indicates that deforestation rates within the bornean central highlands have been low . although this may be the case , it is projected that higher - elevation forests will come under increasing pressure from the logging industry because much of the lowland forest has already been logged , and also from the expansion of oil palm plantations to higher elevations facilitated by climatic warming and improved cultivars ( brodie in review ) . moreover , the construction of several massive hydro - electric dams in central borneo will cause the displacement of several thousand indigenous people ; this , in turn , is predicted to increase levels of unsustainable and indiscriminate hunting practices such as the use of nets and snares to which many largely ground - dwelling species , plausibly including hose’s civet , are highly susceptible . human displacement caused by hydroelectric dams is also projected to increase shifting agriculture at higher elevations and this , coupled with habitat loss through infrastructure development linked to the dams , logging and oil palm expansion , poses the threat of a fragmented landscape through which habitat specialists such as hose’s civet might be less able to disperse than at present , leading to increasingly isolated populations . based on a combination of such threats , a decline of more than 10 % in the hose’s civet population is very likely over the next 15 years ( approximately three generations ) .

although little is known about hose’s civet , it is assumed to be a nocturnal animal that rests by day in holes in rocks and tree roots . when it leaves its resting place at night , it possibly forages on small fish , shrimp , crabs and frogs near streams . it also may catch insects and other small animals on the mossy ground ( 2 ) .

common palm civets forage mainly at night . the likelihood of encountering predators during the day may have favoured nocturnal foraging behaviour . the activity period , from around 6pm in the evening to 4am in the morning , is influenced by daylight . palm civets become active only after dark and retreat to rest sites just before dawn .

dead oiled birds and tar balls came ashore at kauai ' s barking sands , polihale , nukoli , fujii , and kipu kai beaches in september 1998 . the u . s . coast guard determined through chemical analysis , that the oil was from a tesoro hose failure between the barbers point shore at the oil / chemical tanker overseas new york .

the common palm civet is also fond of coffee cherries . they eat the outer fruit and the coffee beans pass through their digestive tract . an expensive coffee called ‘kopi luwak’ is supposedly made from these coffee beans . kopi luwak is said to have a gamy flavour and sells for more than $ 100 per pound .

very little is known about the habits of hose ' s civet in the wild . most of what is known is based on inferences from physical characteristics , the few specimens spotted or collected , and from the observations of the single individual ever held in captivity . they are most likely nocturnal : camera traps primarily recorded the species at night , and during 2 and a half months of observation the individual in captivity only left its hole after dark . based on this individual ' s behavior and on the few records from the wild , hose ' s civets are mostly terrestrial in habit , rarely using trees for shelter or foraging ; however , a few early specimens were collected from the forest canopy . its partially webbed paws and long whiskers might be adaptations for living in moist areas , suggesting they might be semi - aquatic .

just as there are no known direct economic benefits to humans provided by hose ' s civets , there are also no known adverse impacts . it is unlikely that they are an important reservoir of diseases that affect humans , due to their low density and range being limited mostly unpopulated areas .

although the african palm civet ( nandinia binotata ) resembles the other civets , it is genetically distinct and belongs in its own monotypic family , nandiniidae ) . the malagasy civet ( fossa fossana ) was initially placed together with the true civets , but it was moved to the family eupleridae when phylogenetic analysis of dna provided strong evidence that all malagasy carnivores evolved from a single common ancestor that was a herpestid ( yoder et al . 2003 ; yoder and flynn 2003 ; gaubert et al . 2005 ) .

very little information exists about the ecosystem roles of hose ' s civets . as it seems to live in extremely low densities , it is unlikely that it plays a major role in ecosystem dynamics , or that it is the principal predator , prey , or host of any particular species . as it doesn ' t seem to eat fruit , it is unlikely that it acts as a seed disperser .

civet is the common name for various , small , cat - like , almost arboreal mammals in the family viverridae , characterized by a long , lithe body with relatively short legs , a long , pointed muzzle , and relatively short ears . they are native to the tropics of africa and asia . the term civet also refers to the strong - smelling secretion ( musk ) of the perianal glands that is used in perfumes and medicines .

justification : hose ' s civet is listed as vulnerable because its population is likely to be lower than 10 , 000 mature individuals , based on an area of occupancy ( aoo ) estimated as 28 , 000 km² ; the assumption of a very patchy distribution even within this area ; an indicative population density of one individual per km² ( based on studies of similar - sized , largely ground - dwelling civets such as malay civet viverra tangalunga in borneo ; e . g . , colón 2002 ) in areas considered highly ‘suitable’ for the species ; and the very low detection rates in other areas suggesting overall density to be much below this . it is also estimated that there will be an ongoing population decline of at least 10 % over the next three generations ( taken as 15 years ) . this decline is expected because of increased pressure on higher - elevation forests as a result of expansion of logging activities and monoculture plantations to higher elevations , coupled with increase in shifting agriculture and indiscriminate hunting practices using nets and snares as a result of human displacement caused by mega hydro - electric dam projects in the centre of borneo . the combination of such human - induced activities poses the threat of a highly fragmented landscape through which habitat specialists such as hose’s civet may be less able to disperse than at present , leading to increasingly isolated populations . although there are no figures to support this ongoing decline in population size , it is precautionary to acknowledge that these threats will probably take place within the next 15 years , and so to classify the species as vulnerable .

hose ' s civets are believed to primarily inhabit montane forests between 450 and 1500 m above sea level , with an additional sighting at 287 m . they are mainly a terrestrial species that forages along mossy stream banks , although some specimens have been collected from the forest canopy . the forests they inhabit are mostly mature mixed dipterocarp , but some sightings have been in recently logged areas , possibly indicating that they have some level of resilience to human activity .

as they are very elusive animals , the exact status of hose ' s civets is uncertain . it is likely , however , that they have been adversely impacted by human activity such as logging throughout their range . low population densities could make them vulnerable to the region - wide habitat loss and degradation associated with logging and development . because of this , the iucn has listed them as vulnerable . in sarawak , malaysia , they are listed as protected .

viverrids are native to africa ( except the area immediately south of the mediterranean ) , madagascar , the iberian peninsula , southern china , and southeast asia . favored habitats include woodland , savanna , and mountain biomes and , above all , tropical rainforest . in consequence , many are faced with severe loss of habitat . several species are considered vulnerable and the otter civet ( cynogale bennettii ) , a semi - aquatic civet found in forests near rivers and swampy areas of the thai - malay peninsula , sumatra , and borneo , is classified as endangered .

there is almost no information on population estimates and breeding status of hose’s civet . it has rarely been detected ; with the increasing number of studies in borneo using camera - traps , encounter rates remain very low . the paucity of research on the species prevents reliable quantitative estimates . the wide altitudinal spread of records suggest that the species ought to be common in collections ; the fact that it is not suggests very strongly that something renders it very localised , very low density , or both . moreover , the large survey effort by capable researchers using appropriate techniques in areas that seemingly ought to hold the species ( forest within the documented altitudinal and geographic range ) , still yield low encounter rates ( if at all ) , further corroborating the hypothesis of a highly patchy distribution and low density . unlike other civets , this species is apparently seldom encountered by native hunters . again , this gives credence to the hypothesis of patchy distribution and low density , although other explanations are possible such as , until recently , local hunters not venturing far from their villages or high into the mountains when hunting . as part of this assessment , a gis exercise applying data from the borneo carnivore symposium ( june 2011 ) , for which a habitat suitability analysis ( incorporating a maxent analysis and a respondent opinion assessment ) was conducted ( mathai et al . in prep . ) , estimated about 28 , 000 km² of broadly suitable habitat for hose’s civet , restricted to the higher - elevation forests of interior borneo . assuming that about two - thirds of the population are mature individuals , this would give a total of roughly 19 , 000 mature individuals if the population density is taken at 1 individual per km² . for a ground - dwelling small carnivore with very low encounter rates , this density is likely to be much at the higher end ( see colón 2002 for a study on the much more frequently encountered malay civet viverra tangalunga in borneo ) . hence , it is likely that the overall density in this 28 , 000 km² area is 0 . 5 individuals per km² ( or less ) , giving a population size of less than 10 , 000 mature individuals .

no definite information about the diet of hose ' s civets in the wild is known . the single individual that has been held in captivity ate mostly small fish , as well as chicken and lunchmeat , but refused fruit , rice , and fish that were too large to eat in a single bite or that had large scales or spines . this , along with their likely adaptations for foraging around streams , seems to indicate that fish make up most of their diet , along with other meat . fruit and other plant matter probably only contributes significantly to their diet when fish or other meat is unavailable . the individual in captivity ate about 100 g of food daily , leaving any excess .
