      I think this would be the standard view of the civet if visiting during the day. If visiting by night he would probably be a lot more active.

      It was a while ago so I don't remember the day at all but I do remember the linsang. I believe the safari staff obtained from the wild and used it as an animal ambassador. I think the zookeeper who had it was showing it around to some guests. I am not sure they have it anymore but I took some pictures so I think I might be able to show you. But I cannot guarantee anything.

      Ok so it turns out that the Singapore Night safari had it as a animal ambassador and switched with a few other asian zoological parks. (I believe Taman safari?)

      o_OPlease correct me If I am wrong

      It's not something that has been mentioned on Zoochat before. I think we'd all love to see photos.
    • Luke da Zoo nerd
      I will see what is possible:D

      They are for sure at Taman safari though.
    • Luke da Zoo nerd
      I am not sure I still have the pictures.
      (I am so sorry, Honestly.:()

      I am positively sure I saw the linsang though so please don't badger me about getting the photo on zoo chat.

      @Luke da Zoo nerd Are they at Taman Safari now? Again, this is not something that has been reported by those who have visited those collections.
    • Luke da Zoo nerd
      I honestly have no idea if they are at Taman safari now, Since I was there about 7 years ago.
      But like I said, I believe they were animal ambassadors so many of the people that visited might have not seen it.:cool:
