This rare carnivore is found only in the Western Ghats of India, which include Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka. Its scientific name is Martes gwatkinsii. It is a canary yellow throat and chocolate-colored fur that makes it look like a mongoose or civet. It lives in Shola ecosystems. Its high-altitude (300–1200 m) habitat in particular Western Ghats clusters is the focus of conservation efforts.
