The large Indian civet (Viverra zibetha) is a viverrid native to South and Southeast Asia.

[1] The large Indian civet is grey or tawny and has a black spinal stripe running from behind the shoulders to the root of the tail.

[3][4][5] The large Indian civet ranges from Nepal, northeast India, Bhutan, Bangladesh to Myanmar, Thailand, the Malay Peninsula and Singapore to Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and China.

[6] In China, the wild large Indian civet population declined drastically by 94–99% since the 1950s following deforestation, due to hunting for the fur trade, use of its musk glands as medicine and for the perfume industry.

[3] By the 1990s, it was largely confined to the north of Guangdong Province in southern China, but has not been recorded in Hainan Island during surveys between 1998 and 2008.
