Paradoxurinae

Civet ( Paradoxurus hermaphroditus )

The Palm Roller ( Paradoxurinae ) are a subfamily of the civets, which is distributed exclusively in the tropical regions of Asia. The once -ranked African Pardelroller here is no longer counted in this group.

In the shape they resemble the civets, but are clumsy. They are about as big as a house cat. No way is really well known. The Musangs larvae and scooters are especially typical examples of Palm scooter while the binturong or " Marderbär " a very different Civet is.

The following genera are classed as Palm scooters:

• Musangs ( Paradoxurus ), 4 types
• Larvae Roller ( Paguma larvata )
• Sulawesi Roller ( Macrogalidia musschenbroekii )
• Strip Roller ( Arctogalidia trivirgata )
• Binturong ( binturong Arctictis )
