The common palm civet is one of our last wild native urban carnivorans, yet little is known about these nocturnal fruit bandits. How has this species managed to survive urbanisation? What is their role in the ecosystem? Tze Kwan will share with you the secrets of the common palm civet such as their habitats, activity, behaviour and diet.
Take a short walk around Sentosa Nature Discovery with us and find clues to the interesting creatures on the island!
