Off the top of my head:
Kopi Luak or Civet coffee is coffee made from berries that have been eaten by and passed through the digestive treact of the Asian Palm Civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus).
The civets eat the berries, but the beans inside pass through their system undigested. This process takes place on the islands of Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi in Indonesia, in The Philippines (where the product is called Kape Alamid) and in East Timor (locally called kafé-laku).
Vietnam has a similar type of coffee, called weasel coffee, which is made from coffee berries which have been defecated by local weasels. In actuality the "weasel" is just the local version of the Asian Palm Civet.
