Civets are part of the carnivore family Viverridae. They are native to Africa and 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.
