A three month old Civet cat had an outing in the flowers at Chester Zoo today Thursday
A three month old Civet cat had an outing in the flowers at Chester Zoo today Thursday. She should be at home amid the smells of the flowers for until a few years ago most of the most exclusive perfumes were distilled from the musk glands of the Civet, which in its natural state smells vile.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this delightful print from May 1963, we witness a heartwarming scene at Chester Zoo. A three-month-old Civet cat ventures out into the vibrant sea of flowers on a sunny Thursday afternoon. The adorable feline seems to revel in the beauty surrounding her, as she playfully hides amidst the blossoms. Interestingly, these innocent creatures were once associated with an unexpected connection to luxury perfumes. Until just a few years ago, most exclusive fragrances were crafted using musk extracted from the Civet's scent glands. In its natural state, this musk emitted a rather unpleasant odor. However, times have changed and today we can appreciate these captivating animals for their cuteness and not their aroma! As spring unfolds and nature awakens with colorful blooms all around us, this image serves as a reminder of the joyous seasons that come and go. The Civet cat finds solace among the petals and leaves; her curiosity blending seamlessly with nature's wonders. Let this charming photograph transport you back to simpler times - an era filled with innocence and humor where even our furry friends found amusement in hiding amongst flowers.
