Conservation & Sustainability, Flora and Fauna, National Parks In India, Tiger safari in India, Wildlife Tours to India Of all the unseen wonders of the nocturnal life, there's one mammalian carnivore that can be spotted late evenings, night, and early morning hours. Due to their small cat-like size, they are often mistaken as a member of Felidae and referred Civet cats but in actual they are called just 'Civets' belonging to Viverridae family, whose close relatives are mongoose and hyenas. There are 8 different species of Wild civets found in India out of which Common Palm civets and Small Indian civets can be spotted across the sub-continent. They are omnivorous and some species are frugivorous too.
