Owston's palm civet (''Chrotogale owstoni'') is a civet native to Vietnam, Laos and southern China. It is listed as ''Vulnerable'' by IUCN because of an ongoing population decline, estimated to be more than 30% over the last three generations (estimated at 15 years), inferred from over-exploitation, and habitat destruction and degradation. ''Chrotogale'' is a monospecific genus. Owston's palm civet is named after the wildlife collector Alan Owston.〔Thomas, O. (1912). (''Two new Genera and a Species of Viverrine Carnivora'' ). Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London: 498–503.〕 == Characteristics == The Owston's palm civet is a mid-sized palm civet at 57 cm (23 in), plus a tail of 43 cm (17 in). With its pointed face, it is sometimes thought to resemble a large insectivore, such as a shrew. It has a tawny buff-grey body with highly contrasted black markings on its back and tail. They usually only have 4 bands on their back. The last two-thirds of the tail is completely black. They look somewhat like the banded palm civet, ''Hemigalus derbyanus'', except for that the hair on the back of their neck are not reversed, and the Owston's has spots on its legs.
