Abstract
Small-toothed Palm Civet Arctogalidia trivirgata is both nocturnal and arboreal making chance encounters with this species very rare. This species typically eludes conventional biodiversity survey techniques such as ground-based camera trapping. Small-toothed Palm Civet breeding behaviour has not been recorded in the wild and this paper describes a chance observation of mating between two Small-toothed Palm Civets in evergreen forest in eastern Cambodia
