[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A Common Palm Civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus) locally known as "Musang" visiting my Tarap tree at night.

The focus is rather soft as I shot this image by balancing my D200 fixed with a 80-400mm zoom lens and SB800 Speedlite AND a torchlight!

For more info on Tarap (Artocarpus odoratissimus) see my earlier squirrel post.

hello Joe,
Very happy to see a very uncommon visitor on TN. Not easy probably to take this photo. I just wonder why this animal is called "hermaphroditus".
Thanks for this interesting posting
Anne
