'''Civets''' are part of the carnivore family Viverridae. They are native to [[Africa]] and [[Asia|SOuther Asian]] countries, and the various species can be broadly characterised by their long tails, retractile claws, pointed eares and cat-like faces.
They are perhaps best known in Western nations through the sale of 'civet coffee', a variety of the drink which has been fermented in the digestive system of a civet in order to give it a distinctive taste.
