Movements, Home range and Social organization. Appears to be terrestrial: has been captured and camera-trapped on the ground, three specimens were shot along forest streams, and its diet suggests that it forages on the forest floor. However, it is also believed to be partly arboreal: it climbs well in captivity, one live animal was found in a hole in a large tree, and another was trapped 8 m above the ground. Captive animals have been observed scent marking by rubbing the perineal gland onto a solid surface; this was more common in males than females. While in a defensive, agitated, or startled state, a civet may squirt an oily spray from the perineal gland (from a standing position and with a sudden quick lift of the tail).
