However, due to ethical concerns over trapping and extracting the musk, many alternative names have arisen to describe this animal. Some common synonyms include the African civet, the Asian civet, the Toddy cat, the Palm civet, and the Luwak. Other names used in different regions include the Musk cat, Civette, and Civet de Bengale.
