Hemigalus derbyanus (Banded Palm Civet)

Synonyms: Hemigale zebre; Hemigalea derbianus; Paradoxurus derbyanus (homotypic)

Wikipedia Abstract

The banded palm civet (Hemigalus derbyanus), also called the banded civet, is a civet found in the Sundaic region and occurs in peninsular Myanmar, peninsular Malaysia, peninsular Thailand and in Indonesia on the islands of Sipura, Sumatra and Borneo. It is listed as vulnerable because of an ongoing population decline, estimated to be more than 30% over the last three generations, inferred from overexploitation, decline in habitat quality, and habitat destruction and degradation.
