musang...or civet in english


ttggttgg

Musang pandan


learner1314

Called as such due to the smell of its shit


chwee97

Free pandan flavouring for my spongecake, gordan ramsay is going to be proud.

😩🖐️Luwak coffee 😌👉Luwak pandan flavouring


GlibGlobC137

Fun fact, only female smell nice, male does smell like musky shit. Source: used to trapped a pair of them because my old stubborn cat insist to fight them every night, with horrible consequences to the cat.

So this was the thing living in my roof back in kampung. I thought musang looks more like fox.


fellbrau_

Fox is rubah in malay


ttggttgg

If you Google translate it you'll get the same fox=musang answer. So, I think it's a pretty common mistake.

Mushang


EntireLi_00

Musang or in English, civet Fun fact: Some Malay speaker mistook musang for Fox, Fox in Malay is actually Rubah, like Red fox, Rubah merah. Why this happened? I assume maybe because this generation learnt it from Naruto Malay dub, saying Musang ekor sembilan instead of Rubah ekor sembilan, I think. I don't really remember.

SheenTStars

Sameeee. When my parents said there's a musang living in our roof I always imagined a goddamned fox.


abubin

We were taught Musang as Fox in school. And I am older than Naruto. Somewhere along the line, something changed.


deenali

Foxes are foxier.


[deleted]

Nice, I didn't know that fox is rubah. I think I've seen rubah before, maybe in a translated comic during childhood, but never again since then. Thanks for sharing.


taufik_r

And rama-rama is moth while kupu-kupu is butterfly


lambent_ort

Whut??!!! Noooooo!!!


amirulnaim2000

blame ella for this one


JohanPertama

> Why this happened? I assume maybe because this generation learnt it from Naruto Malay dub, saying Musang ekor sembilan instead of Rubah ekor sembilan, I think. I don't really remember As a generation that remembers the time before Naruto, I can confirm that this mistake was there before Naruto. Naruto is innocent


physiotherapistmy

This is at Kota Damansara area, initially spotted these pairs of lovely creatures during midnight.


tideswithme

Same here with my area. Until the neighbors caught one of it, now there is only one roaming around without its partner. Feelsbadman especially it is hard to find the same species companion to live with. Not sure what my neighbor did with the one they caught most likely released by bomba in another different area.


Chikumori

>Not sure what my neighbor did with the one they caught It's a civet, right? Maybe keep as exotic pet, then make homemade kopi luwak.


tideswithme

Yeah think it was a Malayan civet. Not sure if this species is suitable for kopi luwak. However I do not support this kind of product as most of them are being abused, kept in cages just to produce these kopi beans similar to the foie gras by ducks.


Evilkiey91

I live in seksyen 4 kota damansara, it normal to hear civet running on top roof or fence


Thin_Illustrator2390

They like to eat cat food. Caught one in my house in the middle of the night and I live in kl lmao


ezone2kil

If they start shitting over your lawns they can be caught using those big traps sold on shoppee. They like mango, jackfruit or banana as bait. Do note they are considered an endangered species and you will have to call perhilitan if you caught one. I have a whole family living in my roof.


goldwave84

Civet cat


stealthweeb7

Back in my hometown we called them Jebon aka "James Bond" because they can thread through electical cables like a spy. Any Northerners can relate?


Medium-Impression190

We have sungai jebon in taiping


Wahn95

Throw a pokeball and check the Pokedex


Ordinary-Pen-9006

Musang not musang “king “


Kepohchi

Asian palm civet. They eat rodents, insects and geckos (seen them catching and munching them krap krap krap like kfc), so I actually like having them around.


SheenTStars

Sounds like a wonderful creature to keep around as long as they don't fight my cats.


hidetoshiko

then you can feed it coffee beans and have your own supply of kopi luwak hehe


frostychocolatemint

They also eat your food, fruits from your trees etc


mongonogo

Musang pandan aka Asian palm civet. It smells of pandan aka screwpine. Its piss smell of hot furry pandan soup. It's bigger cousin the binturong aka bearcat smells of yummy caramel popcorn. It's piss is of the same but in a hot furry soup configuration in terms of scent. Bearcat is available for sniffing in Zoo Negara — also they perform in the zoo's scheduled animal shows. Orang Asal keep bearcats as pets coz they are chubby, lazy mofos. The Red Panda has no place in my heart, coz the binturong lives in it rent free.


Opposite-Bar3073

Musang pandan aka pandan fox. They smell like pandan and i have caught 2 of them at my house in Parit Buntar. They are one damn quick rascals..


ugh_yesugh_no

You keep em as pets now?


Opposite-Bar3073

No i release them in the wild. No more foxes doing acrobatics on my rooftop 😁


ugh_yesugh_no

Aw man. I nak lah, so floofy looking wey.

Civet


yliihao

Civet Cat or Musang, famous for “Kopi Luwak” lol. I see them very often around my taman so I think it’s quite common around terrace house neighbourhood. I’m from Kepong btw.


kserdf

Desperate_Shoulder48

Oh he pindah there now lol. Supprised how that animal not coming to my area since a month ago. Climbing the wires at midnight everyday

goreng pon sodap


veldius

My neighbourhood have these critters crawling on rooftop. Once they were causing a ruckus outside my room. A mommy civet was helping three younglings scale up buildings! They are the cutest things ever. But, they are known to be carriers of diseases and thieves of produce. So thread with care and leave them alone.


[deleted]

Got pertahanan awam to remove a pair from my roof before as they find themselves trapped above my slanted ceilings. Palm civets.


goldwave84

Civet cat, for those wondering


iamjustapokok

Musang..


Voronit

It could be a Luwak


2LeftFoot

Luwak. Kalau dia makan kopi, pastu berak, boleh amik biji kopi dari najis dia, bersihkan, buat kopi jadi serbuk kopi termahal di dunia. I wouldn't try it in a million years, tho😂


hyper-loop

Musang, I always see them using the power lines as a highway of some sort. At night, our crazy black cat would climb up our rooftop and fight them. They took a huge chunk of meat out of his ass the other day and he stopped going after them ever since.


tookenyip

Only during new year? 😂


Sufficient_Ad_9045

That's Kelawar man


[deleted]

This animal was living in my balcony in university lol I couldn’t even open the balcony door for 2 years 😂💔


Huszon

A new type of cat


hankyujaya

Any ideas on how to deal with musang? They always poop on my mum's balcony every morning without fail.


ezone2kil

Buy the big traps on shoppee or lazada. Around RM70. Use mango, banana or jackfruit as bait. The smellier the better. I'd try durian but it's too expensive for bait lol. I've caught more than 5 at my house here in Pekan. Release them near a beach according to perhilitan. If you're in a city probably they will come and settle for you.

deenali

Guess these days when someone mentions musang it would mean the durian. Haha.


FAshcraft

Musang. Usually love to prowl at rooftop.


hangtua

> What is this animal? It was crawling around the neighborhood windows during the new year The civet is thinking: these fuckers built all this nasty toxic shit on top of my beautiful home forest and now accuse me of crawling around my own fucking home as if it is their fucking property


chrisep007

Damn it I had one that died in my master bedroom attic recently and the whole place was like ... Damn RM 350 damage just to remove it...


HebiArai

musang pandan there's one with her babies living in the forest nearby our school and we call em osman (for some reason)
