Notes.

This species was detected on six occasions (Table 2 View Table 2 ), five times in national park forest areas in two different camera trap sites and one camera trap site in human-disturbed forest area (Fig. 6 View Figure 6 ). Nocturnal species detected exclusively via camera trap in remote forested areas, the palm civet’s diet includes insects, fruits, and small mammals. Its presence highlights the intactness of nocturnal food webs within the national park forest habitat ( Veron et al. 2015).
