Zib"et, Zib"eth, n. Etym: [Cf. It. zibetto. See Civet.] (Zoöl.)
Definition: A carnivorous mammal (Viverra zibetha) closely allied to the
civet, from which it differs in having the spots on the body less
distinct, the throat whiter, and the black rings on the tail more
numerous.
Note: It inhabits India, Southern China, and the East Indies. It
yields a perfume similar to that of the civet. It is often
domesticated by the natives, and then serves the same purposes as the
domestic cat. Called also Asiatic, or Indian, civet.
