Description

This full-body taxidermy mount of an African civet captures the unique characteristics of this elusive nocturnal mammal. Mounted on a wooden base, it features a realistic pose with distinctive markings and coarse fur, reflecting the civet’s natural appearance.

The African civet (Civettictis civetta) is native to sub-Saharan Africa and is known for its musky scent and black-and-white fur pattern. Despite resembling a feline, civets belong to a separate family of small carnivorous mammals. They are solitary and omnivorous, feeding on fruits, insects, and small animals, and are most active at night. Historically, civets were used in the perfume industry for their scent glands.

This piece makes an excellent addition to natural history exhibits, wildlife-themed interiors, or private collections seeking rare and educational specimens.
