The otter civet is a nocturnal species that obtains most of its food from the water, feeding on fish, crabs and freshwater mollusks. It can also climb to feed on birds and fruit. Given its rarity and secretive nature it is a very poorly known species.

The otter civet is threatened by habitat destruction specifically, the destruction of peat swamp forests to make way for oil palm plantations. It is sometimes caught in snares intended to catch other species.

Cynogale bennettii is listed in CITES Appendix II.
