Tabin Wildlife Reserve (Malay: Taman Hidupan Liar Tabin) is located in the eastern part of Sabah, Malaysia, on the island of Borneo. Created in the year 1984, the reserve comprises an area of approximately 468 square kilometers, you can find wildlife such as civet here.
Civet is a small, lean, mostly nocturnal mammal native to tropical Asia and Africa, especially the tropical forests.
Civets have a broadly cat-like general appearance, though the muzzle is extended and often pointed, rather like that of an otter, mongoose or even possibly a ferret.
Civets are carnivora in general, but many species are omnivores or even herbivores. The civets here primarily eat fruit, especially using palm fruit as a major source of energy.
In Indonesia and Vietnam, people will feed the civets with coffee cherries. The civets digest the flesh of the coffee cherries but pass the pits (beans) inside, where stomach enzymes affect the beans, which adds to the coffee's prized aroma and flavor.
