Another look at an Asian Palm Civet climbing a tree for fruit. Believe it or not, there's a very expensive coffee made from their droppings.
These guys eat some kind of fruit, digest the bad parts and leave behind whatever that coffee is made from. Disgusting but true.
I still feel real lucky to have happened to be there the one good day to see these guys out in daylight without fear.
In 9 other days in the park there were no sightings at all of these. The guide says they rarely if ever see these the rest of the year.
