Abstract: The Common Palm Civet Paradoxurus hermaphroditus is a small carnivore belonging to the family Viverridae. It occurs across a wide range of habitats, including tropical forests, plantations, and human-modified landscapes. Although primarily frugivorous, it is considered an opportunistic omnivore consuming insects and small vertebrates depending on seasonal food availability. Reports of reptilian prey in its diet are scarce, with only occasional records from stomach content analyses
