Caption: Common palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). The species name comes from the fact that both sexes have anal scent glands resembling testicles, from which they can spray a noxious secretion. They eat small vertebrates, insects, ripe fruits and seeds and are very fond of palm sap. Photographed in Tabin Nature Reserve, Sabah, Malaysian Borneo.
