This is a civet.
According to the New York Times, this cat-like monkey-ish thing is a real coffee snob. The folks at Starbucks have nothing on this furry guy. Civets seek out and eat only the very best of the best coffee cherries in their Indonesian and Philippine habitats.
And then for whatever insane reason, Indonesians and Filipinos collect the partially digested coffee beans that the civets excrete in their dung so as to bring the world a great new high end beverage.
This has to be pretty close to the most revolting thing I've ever heard.
