Animal profile
Arctictis binturong
The binturong, or bearcat, is a large shaggy viverrid of the Southeast Asian canopy. It has a fully prehensile tail, is largely frugivorous, and is one of very few animals able to germinate the tough seeds of strangler figs. Habitat loss and hunting have made it Vulnerable across its range.
