Civet refers to a small, nocturnal mammal found in Africa and Asia, known for its distinctive appearance and strong scent. These animals belong to the family Viverridae and are often recognized by their elongated bodies, short legs, and bushy tails. Civets are primarily solitary and are known for their ability to climb trees. Civets are also famous for producing civet coffee, a unique beverage made from coffee beans that have been digested and excreted by the animal. The beans are collected from the feces, cleaned, and processed to create a highly sought-after coffee known for its rich flavor and aroma.
