Binturang

The Binturong (Arctictis binturong), also known as the Asian bearcat,

the Palawan bearcat, or simply the bearcat, is a species of the family

Viverridae, which includes the civets and genets. It is the only

member of its genus. The binturong is neither a bear nor a cat, and

the real meaning of the original name has been lost, as the local

language that gave it that name is now extinct.

The binturong is nocturnal and sleeps on branches. It eats primarily

fruit, but has also been known to eat a wide range of animal matter

as well. Deforestation has greatly reduced its numbers. It can make

chuckling sounds when it seems to be happy and utter a high-

pitched wail if annoyed; when cornered, it can be vicious. The

binturong can live over 20 years in captivity; one has been recorded

to have lived almost 26 years. (Information courtesy: Wikipedia)
