繁：果子狸
简：果子狸

中環利源西街鬧市昨日有果子狸出沒，漁護署人員在約3小時後到場，但未發現其蹤影。附近排檔檔主認為，如政府日後捉到該果子狸，應找地方安置或放回野外，期望不用「殺無赦」。

To unsuspecting eyes, the animal could have looked like another stray cat hopping around Li Yuen Street West, but on closer inspection, the mask palm civet has a distinctive pattern on its face and a long, thin tail.
