We were lucky to spot this civet cat (paradoxurus hermaphroditus) up close in our night walks. Caught out by our flashlights, it froze allowing us to take pictures.
Coffee seeds harvested from the feces of the Palm Civet Cat is most sought after and is the most expensive in the world. Pulau Ubin used to have coffee plantations before the war. Next time we might just go looking for their droppings in old coffee groves for some good “weasel coffee”.
