The banded palm civet, also called the banded civet, is a viverrid native to Indomalaya. It is usually about the size of a domestic cat, with pale fur marked by dark bands across the back. It is believed to be closely related to Hose's palm civet, which looks similar (Wikipedia, general species account).
