3. Name this animal. With what is this animal popularly associated with? Where can you find them? For bonus points: Give the scientific name of this animal.
LUWAK or COMMON PALM CIVET, denizen of the coffee plantations of
INDONESIA, eats only the ripest coffee cherries. Unable to digest the coffee beans the Luwak graciously excretes them on the jungle floor where they are eagerly collected by the locals. The stomach acids and enzymatic action involved in this unique fermentation process produces the beans for the world’s rarest coffee beverage - the KOPI LUWAK. Bonus: PARADOXURUS HERMAPHRODITUS
(3/16)
For
those who answered that this
animal can be associated with the SARS virus, here is an explanation.
The MASKED PALM
CIVETS (Paguma Larvata) were found to have the corona viruses. According to an article on the WHO web site, "much more research is needed before any firm conclusions can be reached. At present, no evidence exists to suggest that these wild animal species play a significant role in the epidemiology of SARS outbreaks. However, it cannot be ruled out that these animals might have been a source of human infection."
Furthermore, there are other wild animal species like the Chinese ferret
badger which are closely related to the SARS virus. So for the answer, I
will only consider the Kopi Luwak as its association and another possible one
is as the source of a highly-valued musk, used as a stabilizing agent in perfumes. |
