  • What is a Binturong? Here we explore one of my favorite animals, the Bearcat. Binturongs come from South Asian countries like India, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. You might find one in a zoo near you!

    The binturong is a civet found only in Asia, the Binturong (Arctictis binturong) is the largest extant species of civet, it’s closest living relative is the Small-Toothed Palm Civet (Arctogalidia trivirgata), making the binturong and the small-toothed palm civet the only extant representatives of the tribe Arctictini, which belongs to the subfamily Paradoxurinae (Short-Faced Palm Civets).

    I was fortunate to meet one of the Binturongs at Edinburgh Zoo today (I believe they have two, a male and a female, for obvious reasons) but the female was hiding. Hands down one of the most adorable animals I have ever seen. My 11yp daughter was really enamoured too and immediatly decided she needed a stuffed toy Binturong from the zoo giftshop.

    new to me. they are so cuddly and adorable. evolution is so amazing. that tree only survives cause the seed passes through the binturong’s digestive system - like so many other seeds do with other animals and birds. thanks for this :) 🐱🐻🐒🌷🌱

    I live in Thailand and had never seen or heard of the Binturong. I took a trip to Safari World in Bangkok and was on my way to feed the giraffe when I saw a cage full of these weird creatures chilling out on tree branches. I looked at the little information board to find out what these strange creatures were. Bear Cats or Binturongs. I then learned that they smell of popcorn and that they are arboreal creatures that live in trees. I have seen them in other Thai zoos since but really had no idea such a creature existed until that visit to Safari World. I do have footage of them in both the Safari Park and a zoo up in Ratchaburi if anyone is interested in that? Our Man In Bangkok on RUclips. As I said, I find them totally fascinating and unique.

      I used to get jealous of people from other countries, because they have the "cool animals".
      Then I talked to someone from Japan, and they told me they were jealous because they thought raccoons were awesome, and they mostly live in North America. Kinda put in perspective.

    Being blind, when I learn about a new animal, I always like to know if that animal makes a sound. And if so, what kind of sound it makes. What sound do binturongs make?

    They don’t actually leap thru the trees (like there civet cousins) primarily probably due to their size. They actually climb all the down tree to the Forrest floor to go up another.
