Binturong

(Arctictis binturong)

Description:
Binturongs belong to the family of Viverridae, which is commonly referred to as civets. They are cats, but actually look more like bears, hence their second name ‘bearcats’. Their body is long with relatively short legs and their fur consists of thick, black hair. They have a long tail that helps them balance when climbing a tree. On the IUCN red list they are classified as ‘vulnerable’ and they are very shy, which makes it extremely difficult to spot them in the wild. They can be active during the day and also during the night.
