Hose's palm civet (Diplogale hosei), also known as Hose's civet, is a species of civet. It is named after zoologist Charles Hose and is a member of the family Viverridae. It is endemic to the montane forests of northern Borneo.
What little is known of the species comes primarily from 17 museum specimens worldwide, the first of which was collected in Sarawak by Hose in 1891. It was not until 1997 that the first living specimen was obtained; this was, however, released after 2 months – there remains no Hose’s civet in captivity anywhere in the world.
