The binturong, also known as the bearcat, is a unique mammal native to the forests of Southeast Asia. Despite its nickname, it’s not a bear or a cat, but a member of the civet family. Binturongs are known for their shaggy black fur, long whiskers, and prehensile tails, which they use to grip branches as they move through the trees. One of their fun quirks? They smell like buttered popcorn, thanks to a scent gland near their tail! Credit unknown Please DM us for credit #animals #cuteanimals #anim

The binturong, or bearcat, looks like a plush toy, but it’s a rainforest heavyweight with some surprising traits. First, those glowing eyes are real. They’re built for night vision, with a reflective layer that helps them see in the dark. In photos, they can look almost edited, but it’s nature’s design for survival in the canopy. Are they aggressive? Not usually. Binturongs are shy and nocturnal, happiest when stretched out on a branch or climbing slowly in search of fruit. If threatened, they c

The binturong, also known as a bearcat, is a strange-looking mammal native to Southeast Asia. It’s not actually a bear or a cat—it’s part of the civet family. Binturongs have long, bushy tails (which they use like an extra arm for climbing), shaggy black fur, and a face that’s kind of a mix between a cat and a bear. They also have a surprising smell—like buttered popcorn—thanks to a chemical in their scent glands! Binturongs are mostly nocturnal and love hanging out in trees, snacking on fruit,

That face when you smell like popcorn and climb trees for a living 🍿😛 This is a binturong, often called a bearcat. It has a fully prehensile tail that works like a fifth limb, making it one of the largest tree-dwelling carnivores in the world. Even stranger, its fur naturally smells like buttered popcorn due to a scent compound also found in pandan plants. #binturong #bearcat #wildlifeoddities #naturefacts #animalreels | Discvr Blog
