African civet cats, also known as civet cats, musk secreted by glands, the strong and unique smell makes women crazy

The African palm civet, also commonly known as the two-spotted palm civet, is commonly found in the tropical jungles of eastern and central Africa. Unlike other civet cats, the African palm civet has its own genetic group, making it the most distinctive species of civet cats. Although they look and behave a lot like wild cats, African palm civet cats are not felines and are actually more closely related to weasels and meerkats. The most distinctive feature is their thick brown to yellow fur covered with a series of dark brown spots. African palm civet cats have darker fur on the upper half of their bodies, which makes them easier to camouflage in the bushes. They have a sharp muzzle, strong and muscular limbs, and they have small, round ears and yellow-green eyes with slit-shaped pupils. The African palm civet has proven to be an extremely adaptable animal, found in a variety of habitats, from deciduous forests and lowland rainforests, to woodlands. They are a solitary animal and live a nocturnal lifestyle, which means it only appears for a few hours at dawn and dusk in search of food. They are arboreal creatures that rest under the shelter of trees day and night. African palm civet cats can breed twice a year during the rainy season in May and October, when more food is available. Civets have two sets of scent glands, which secrete substances with strong scents. Between the third and fourth toes of each foot and in the lower part of the abdomen, these glands are mainly used to mark territory and participate in mating. Female civet cats usually give birth to 4 cubs during the gestation period. Then fend for itself at 60 days old. African palm civet cats can live up to 15 years, although rarely this old in the wild. The African palm civet is an omnivorous animal that, like other species of civet, feeds on plants and small animals. Still, pineapples and fruits make up the bulk of their diet. The musk, secreted by glands near the reproductive organs of the African palm civet, has been collected by humans for hundreds of years. The smell is said to be very objectionable to humans, but once diluted, it produces a pleasant scent. It is this scent that makes civet secretions one of the most expensive ingredients in the world. Palm civet cats, which live in Africa, are considered pests by locals because they attack poultry. They caused great damage to farmers. But humans also pose a threat to the African palm civet because of the fragrance, and the hunting of the African palm civet is considered the greatest threat to the species today.
