I went to Epe fish market and saw this raccoon looking animal on display. I'm sure it isn't a raccoon as it doesn't have it's distinct characteristics.

Anyone has an idea what animal this is?

Chai the seller no even know waiting e day sell

Eji or Buusu offia (in Igbo).
The Civet Cat in English.
It's a nocturnal animal, so many people don't know it.

African civet

I don taya to tell una the worth of wild animals

They are only found in west Africa and few Central African countries even in the west Africa you can't find them in desert regions not even in northern Nigeria

So they are rare and foreigners keep them as pets

I will tell you that these civets are feed coffee beans and when they pass out the beans it is sold as the world most expensive coffee Google civet coffee

We Nigerians no get sense at all when it comes to wild life

I promise you 100% of the time the wild animal is ALWAYS worth more alive than dead, the animal is ALWAYS worth more than its meat

100 u.s dollars per cup of coffee that's 40,000naira per cup made from these guys poop
