果子狸（Paguma larvata）的繁殖在日本还没有得到很好的研究。我们研究了2007年4月至2009年3月在神奈川县和东京大都会作为滋扰动物收获的361只雌性果子狸。妊娠动物和带胎盘疤痕动物仅在12月龄及以上发现。在这些动物中，观察到的妊娠动物率为13.7%（29/212），胎盘瘢痕动物率为29.2%（62/212）。胎数1-4只，平均2.8只，根据胎头臀长估计的主要分娩月份为3 ~ 11月。
Reproduction of the masked palm civet (Paguma larvata) has not been well investigated in Japan. We examined 361 female masked palm civets harvested as nuisance animals between April 2007 and March 2009 in Kanagawa Prefecture and Tokyo Metropolis. Pregnant animals and placental scars-bearing animals were found only in 12 months old and over. In these animals, the observed rate of pregnant animals was 13.7% (29/212) and that of placental scar-bearing animals was 29.2% (62/212). The number of fetuses ranged from 1-4 (average 2.8), and the principal months of parturition estimated from the crown-rump lengths of fetuses were from March to November.
