Thank you, @x-rain! At first glance, it does look like a domestic cat, but it’s actually a Common Palm Civet, locally known as 'Gaara' in Bangladesh. These are wild nocturnal animals. The way it stares and its body pattern are quite different from regular cats. I was lucky to capture this moment in a betel leaf garden!
You are absolutely right, @x-rain! I made a mistake in identifying it at first. After double-checking, I realized it is indeed a Jungle Cat (Felis chaus), not a civet. I have corrected the post now. Thank you so much for your keen observation—it really helped me keep the information accurate!
