/Formosan Masked Palm Civet

Details
The Formosan masked palm civet has a black head with a distinct white stripe from the forehead to the nose. Their claws are retractable, making it a tree-climbing master. Their anal glands can release foul-smelling scent to scare away the predators. The natural habitats are depleting due to many human and environmental reasons. They are quite adapted to environmental change, and often invade orchards to eat fruit
