Hi everybody! When I was in Surabaya zoo in 2006, I took picture of these civets in the Nocturama. They were labelled as Paradoxurus hermaphroditus but their color is really not matching... Do you think it's a special color morph? a subspecie? or even another specie like Sulawesi giant palm civet (Macrogalidia musschenbroeki) ? Thanks in Advance! Cheers!
To me it looks like a normal Paguma larvata (color is variable). Just very overweight. Macrogalidia is very different and Paradoxurus has some spots and stripes.
