Civet

Coronavirus Animal Scapegoat Coloring Pages (3 of 4)

The Asian palm civet is a cat-like mammal that lives in the tropical forests of Indonesia and China. Civets are mostly nocturnal and, apparently, they make an outstanding cup of coffee.

Wait—what? 

Civets adore coffee cherries. After digesting the cherries, the civet poops and the beans are “harvested.” The result is kopi luwak, or civet coffee–the most expensive coffee in the world. A single cup can set you back $100.

In the SARS outbreak of 2002-03, civets carried the virus from bats to humans. Thousands of captive civets were slaughtered as a result. A better result might have been a ban on cat-poop coffee?!
