small Indian civet

The small Indian civet has a rather coarse fur that is brownish grey to pale yellowish brown, with usually several longitudinal black or brown bands on the back and longitudinal rows of spots on the sides. Usually there are five or six distinct bands on the back and four or five rows of spots on each side. Some have indistinct lines and spots, with the dorsal bands wanting. Generally there are two dark stripes from behind the ear to the shoulders, and often a third in front, crossing the throat. Its underfur is brown or grey, often grey on the upper parts of the body and brown on the lower. The grey hairs on the upper parts are often tipped with black. The head is grey or brownish grey, the chin often brown. The ears are short and rounded with a dusky mark behind each ear, and one in front of each eye. The feet are brown or black. Its tail has alternating black and whitish rings, seven to nine of each colour. It is {{convert|21|-|23|in|cm|order=flip|abbr=on}} from head to body with a {{convert|15|-|17|in|cm|order=flip|abbr=on}} long tapering tail.

The Small Indian civet occurs in most of India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, south and central China, and Taiwan. Recent records are not known in Bhutan, Bangladesh, Peninsular Malaysia, Java and Bali, where it was historically recorded. Its current status in Singapore is unclear.

It is widely distributed in Chitwan National Park, both grasslands and Sal (Shorea robusta) forest.{{cite journal |last1=Lamichhane |first1=B. R. |last2=Pokheral |first2=C.

Small Indian civets are nocturnal, mostly terrestrial and insectivorous. They inhabit holes in the ground, under rocks or in thick bush.

Occasionally, pairs are formed (for mating and hunting). In areas not disturbed by humans, they have been reported to sometimes also hunt by day. Small Indian civets are primarily terrestrial, though they also climb well. Individuals sleep in burrows or hollow logs. They can dig their own burrows, but also occupy abandoned burrows of other species. In suburban habitats they use gutters or other hollow, dark spaces as makeshift burrows.{{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/walkerscarnivore0000nowa |url-access=registration |page=[https://archive.org/details/walkerscarnivore0000nowa/page/187 187] |title=Walker's Carnivores of the World |last1=Nowak |first1=R M. |last2=Walker|first2=E.

The small Indian civets feed on rats, mice, birds, snakes, fruit, roots and carrion.Lekalul, B. and McNeely, J. A. (1977). Mammals of Thailand. Association for the Conservation of Wildlife, Bangkok. Some individuals were observed while carrying off poultry.

The female has usually four or five young at a birth. Captive small Indian civets in Kerala were observed to mate in March to May and October to December. Mean gestation lasts 65 to 69 days. Kittens weigh between {{cvt|90|and|110|g}} at birth and open their eyes after five days. They reach {{cvt|1000|g}} at the age of ten weeks.{{cite journal |author1=Balakrishnan, M. |name-list-style=amp |author2=Sreedevi, M. |year=2007 |title=Captive breeding of the Small Indian Civet Viverricula indica (É.

The life span in captivity is eight to nine years.

Viverricula indica is listed on CITES Appendix III. In Myanmar, it is totally protected under the Wildlife Act of 1994.

Civetta indica was the scientific name given to the species by Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire in 1803 when he described a small Indian civet skin from India in the collection of the French Museum d'Histoire Naturelle.{{cite book |last1=Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire |first1=E. |year=1803 |chapter=La Civette de l'Inde |chapter-url=https://www.digitale-sammlungen.de/en/view/bsb10482289?page=117 |page=113 |title=Catalogue des Mammifères du Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle |location=Paris |publisher=Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle}}

A phylogenetic study showed that the small Indian civet is closely related to the genera Civettictis and Viverra. It was estimated that the Civettictis-Viverra clade diverged from Viverricula around 16.2 million years ago. The authors suggested that the subfamily Viverrinae should be bifurcated into Genettinae including Poiana and Genetta, and Viverrinae including Civettictis, Viverra and Viverricula. The following cladogram is based on this study.{{cite journal |last1=Gaubert |first1=P. |last2=Cordeiro-Estrela |first2=P. |title=Phylogenetic systematics and tempo of evolution of the Viverrinae (Mammalia, Carnivora, Viverridae) within feliformians: implications for faunal exchanges between Asia and Africa |journal=Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution |year=2006 |volume=41 |issue=2 |pages=266–278 |doi=10.1016/j.ympev.2006.05.034 |url=http://uahost.uantwerpen.be/funmorph/raoul/fylsyst/gaubert2006.pdf |pmid=16837215|bibcode=2006MolPE..41..266G }} {{open access}}
