Water civet (SciiFii)

The water civet (Potamictis palustris) ) is a species of cat-sized civet that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests and wetlands across Southeast Asia to help boost biodiversity. The closest living relative of the water civet is the otter civet (Cynogale benettii). The water civet is semiaquatic, unlike most civets (other than otter civets), with frog-like hind limbs used for swimming through the water. The water civet is a nocturnal species that obtains most of its food from the water, feeding on fish, crabs and freshwater mollusks. It can occasionally also climb to feed on birds and fruit. The conservation status of the water civet is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the water civet's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
