You can make a spectacular civet family shoebox diorama using other civets, genets, and related animals from our gift shop. The smallest member of the civet family, the spotted linsang (Prionodon pardicolor) weighs in at a mere 1 1/2 pounds and measures approximately 24 to 33 inches long including the tail, which accounts for almost half its length. This arboreal, solitary, nocturnal carnivore is found in the thick forests of eastern Nepal, southern China and the northern Indochina regions. The spotted linsang resembles the  banded linsang  in its long, slender body, short limbs, elongated neck and head, and long tail. The ground colour ranges from dusky brown to light buff. Two long stripes extend from behind the ears to the shoulders or beyond, and two shorter stripes run along the neck. Three to four longitudinal rows of spots adorn the back, their size decreasing towards the belly. The fore legs are spotted to the paw, the hind legs to the hock. The cylindrical tail has eight or nine broad dark rings, separated by narrow white rings. The feet have five digits, and the area between the pads is covered with hair. The claws are retractile, claw sheaths are present on the fore paws, but the hind-paws have protective lobes of skin.  It weighs about 0.45  kg (1  lb) and measures in length about 360 “380  mm (14 “15  in) with a 30 “33  cm (12 “13  in) long tail. Its height is about 13 “14  cm (5 “5.5  in), the girth of its chest 14.6  cm (5.75  in), and length of head to the  occiput  about 7.6  cm (3  in). The range of the spotted linsang includes eastern  Nepal,  Sikkim,  Assam  and  Bengal  in  India,  Bhutan, northeastern  Myanmar, northern  Thailand,  Laos, northern  Vietnam, and western  Sichuan,  Yunnan  Guizhou  and southwestern  Guangxi  in southern China. It is uncommon to rare throughout this range.  It is rarely observed in northern Bengal.  It primarily inhabits  evergreen forests  and shrubland. A large portion of this habitat is not protected, and this may cause the spotted linsang to be threatened with extinction due to  habitat loss.  In  Nam Et-Phou Louey  National Biodiversity Conservation Area, it was observed in secondary vegetation dominated by banana stands in 2017.
