Tomorrow, we are learning about a civet in school. Since I don't know much about these animals, I tend to look them up to get a grown up perspective prior to teaching. (Katie is inquisitive so I have to be on the ball!) Apparently civets have amazing wonderful smelling anal glands! Wow, if only our husbands were blessed with that! :) Who would of thought that tons of American's who use Chanel were at one time rubbing a civets anal secretions all over their body?!
Another amazing use of the civet is the coffee they produce. Civet coffee is eaten and digested by civets and is a considered a delicacy at $100-$300 a lb! If that doesn't sound delicious, maybe you will feel better knowing that the enzymes in the civet's stomach remove the bitterness from the coffee bean during digestion!
The best part of waking up, is dooky in your cup :)
