- The Binturong looks like the mix between a bear, a cat, and a monkey, but they’re more than the sum of their weird-looking parts.

A reuplod are you Pyro
Animalogic can do no wrong
Hi danele u r best
yes
Or does popcorn smell like Binturongs..
an unsettling thought.
You're getting somewhere
Chris IsBetterThanYou got them.
Well, binturongs do predate popcorn by a _long_ time, so that makes sense.
Specifically, Binturong _genitals_ .
Binturongs can't decide what animal they're supposed to look like, but I can figure out that they're cute!
Binturong: I think I'm a bear, no a cat, no a raccoon, no a kinkajou, no cougar.......
Lol
No they're not
Cute but deadly
@@adipatikersani6674 - The Bearcat is the mascot of the University of Cincinnati. When I was there, the binturong they had seemed pretty chill. He looked like a dust mop, but he seemed relaxed around people.
I never petted him because I didn't know anything about their behavior. For all I knew, he could wrap his prehensile tail around my neck and implant an embryo in me like Aliens.
Smell of old cinemas, old drunk uncle vibe and powered by full moon: *WHERE DO I SIGN TO SAVE THEM*
Met a couple of Binturong at the Australia Zoo. They look absolutely terrifying, reminding me more of wolverines than cats or bears. But they turned out to be curious and enjoyed checking us out and having a nice scratch behind their ears. And yes, they really do smell like popcorn. :)
If you cook popcorn next to a binturong would it become territorial or horny?
Mocha Shaka Khan asking the right questions
These kind of quetions keep me up at night.
I'd say depending the season.
It's actually a smart question. Lots of humans cook bready substances in the forest. Are they messing with the heads of these creatures? Probably not. Almost everything has a better sense of smell than people. Although male Ocelots can be lured to certain areas by certain branded perfume, which apparently smells enough like their mates to interest them.
Hahahahahaha
How many animals are there? I come here just to find out about new animals I never knew existed. This might be the best channel on TH-cam.
If I remember correctly, Earth is estimated to hold at least 8 million species, and scientists have only discovered about 15% of those species. Many of these species reside in the ocean, and many more than likely will go extinct before being discovered.
However, I could be wrong. I'd the best is to research it on your own; my mom has always told me to do that. Lol.
There are countless species in SEA that has not been document by Scientists yet, especially in Laos. If you visit their meat market you'll see what I mean.
Jed Marsillo I know that this is off-topic, but I just learned earlier this week that wombats poop cubes! That’s right-they poo in cubes, and build walls with their poop! It was my fun fact for the week!
I’m 61, and still am learning!
say that again. i dare you
Every Exotic animals in Indonesia is only like.. thousands. AND SOME ARE JUST HUNDREDS.
Well, that’s funny about the popcorn because it’s actual name “binturong” in Talag-Lut Malay literally means “kettle popped rice from the anus”... “bintu” being a local puffed/popped rice snack made with a black iron kettle over a fire with rice grains popping in heated palm oil, and “rong” being anything coming from your backside, like “Bup-rong” being a poo, “Elu-rong” being diarrhea, and “Papat-rong” meaning breaking wind/flatulence. So “binturong” or popped corn(rice) - ass, is a pretty adept nomenclature for a mammal that makes a savory popcorn-like scent with its anal scent glands.
Juan Pascal Luciano Bravado Amazing Malays!
Where is that language from? I thought I was the only person that kettle popped rice from my anus.
I could have ancestry there. Please sir, this is my Zion, I must reconnect with my roots.
@@iv3716 malaysia
Nice
Lmao
26 years on this earth and I’ve never heard or seen this animal in my life
Literally me today!!!
I'm 34 and my mind is blown 😂
Right .... I figured it was some computer generated type thing.... With this AI stuff taking over I just wasn't sure.
I have seen on tree
Im 32 yo live in south east asia my entire life and i just found out 😂
Don't let palm oil companies snuff out our favorite popcorn scented boi!
Europe already ban palm oil from Indonesia to protect tiger orangutan and other animal. I'm Indonesian to and agree with Europe
Let's say they ban Palm oil, people will move to other crops to cultivate, like coffee or rubber and deforestation will continue, what will you do? Ban coffee? Ban rubber?
@ucuz12 Find alternative ways of getting supplies
@@emanuelrojas2 like what? Sunflower oil? Soy oil? Even worse. Palm oil is the most efficient vegetable oil available, if you use other kind of oil, you will speed up the deforestation.
@ucuz12 Or perhaps grow it locally....
My life isn't complete without animalogic
My life isnt complete without my daily dose of Danielle
I hear y'all.
Animal life logic is bullshit.... Because they are discriminating and disrespectful. Continue to spread dont purchase palm oil... Soon u will see cases like china legalized hunting rhino... Dumb ass... This channel is only killing animal indirectly.
And where exactly is your proof of this?
@@lawoliver8403 what are talking about?
“Popcorn with a hint of aaa-ahhhhhhhh”
Johnson really didn't smell like popcorn 🍿
bint: this bear cat is cat and bear
Bint your wrong
Genius lol🤣😂
Hello Animalogic. There's a myth that binturong can transform into a type of female ghost that eats man (women are safe) in Borneo.
hahaha
Nicholas Joseph Why like a succubus
Ur thinking of a succubus
Pontianak!
@@queencammy2109 you damn right
I’m a Southeast Asian, and I know palm cultivation is not the root cause. The root causes are the human population explosion and the bad system, as well as the bad education there. If we just reject palm oil, the people there will find other plants to cultivate on the land, or even cut down more forest trees for the living.
Agreed
If it's not Palm, it's soy, or rice, or sugarcane.
Either way the forests and their inhabitants are screwed.
Better palm oil than soy oil.
It's very easy for them to point their fingers to developing nations while not understanding how it is here, when they achieved their wealth through similar means of exploitation. It's laughable that they get the "moral highground" in this, while still doing what they always do to us for hundreds of years - cripple our development. They stole resources then, this time it's boycott and slander
@@NajCarnage The thing is though, that said "boycott and slander" will have only a short span benefits for a few and disastrous mid to long term results.
Yes!! I love how you not only educated your viewers about biturongs but also how we can help them❤️.
Okay, I've been watching nature videos for almost 3 weeks straight. Danielle is now my favorite wildlife video narrator. 💖💖💖
Animalogic always introduces me to the weirdest animals that I’ve somehow never heard of before
I had never seen or heard of one until just today at the Arc Encounter in KY! So beautiful.
Met one of these dudes for my 10th birthday. The sloth was booked so my parents had the binturong come in instead. They really do smell exactly like popcorn! I remember my younger cousin, sister, and I running as it playfully chased us. It even had a little harness on :)
Thank you Animalogic. You continue to complete my life with these animals.
My great uncle had one of these show up in his backyard in Southern New Jersey a few years ago! Animal control said it was probably being kept as a pet and escaped or was dumped.
Please do the hummingbird hawk-moth!!!
Very strange animal
I'd like to see that too!
they rule!
Yeah
That name sounds like whoever discovered this creature really had no idea what he was looking at.
(First person) “It’s a hummingbird? Hawk? Moth?”
(Second person) “A Hummingbird Hawk Moth??”
(First person) “ Sure. That works.”
They have a disheveled old man look.
I found my spirit animal.
I’ve found my spirit animal.
I always thought that they were related to the badgers. thank you, lovely canadian lady
Same here. They look and act very similar. Who knew
they live in south east asia not america
The Hooded Pitohui is pretty cool. Poisonous Bird... Always fun...
Thank you for sharing this wonderful little creature
I love the drawing in the background while you’re explaining the animal ! Props.
4:03 I think that should say “Extinct in the Wild”, but no worries.
Oh dear.
hahaha maybe it applies to animals we'll send to other planets. Then they go extinct here.
Animalogic ah, I forgot about that
That works for me! Love you guys! :)
I remember seeing this when I was 5 at a zoo near my city in the Philippines. I was *absolutely terrified.*
what about Sunda Colugos????? .... next time try Sunda Colugos....😃😃
Binturongs have perfect camouflage to mask their scent while prowling movie theaters.
I really like the Animalogic channel because I learn about animals I have never heard before. Thanks! :)
Bearded Dragon, my original post was taken down, but I saw you guys replied so I’m getting closer ;)
Please do one about hornbills, they're my favorite animals, they're so interesting and deserve to be known by more people
Yes.. I second this
You are binturong
Idiots... U want them to make another disrespectful video... Are u kidding?
Maybe you already know, and of course it is not the same as Animalogic, but Emzotic has rescued a hornbill and you can go check her videos it's just amazing how he started from almost dead to happy and healthy !
@@lawoliver8403 disrespectful ? What was so disrespectful ?
Love animal logic, Danielle and crew. Thanks from Australia
You're videos are always fun to watch and very cool stuff.
Thank you for taking the time to make these:)
At 5:21, I think it's an oversimplification to equate palm oil with lauryl sulfate, which can come from other sources, such as coconut oil. A laurel (the kind you rest on) is a palm leaf, but I don't think it's necessarily related to lauryl sulfate. Perhaps a chemist could weigh in with an opinion.
Sturgeon? I feel like it’s an interesting animal that a lot of people don’t know about
@Animalogic You hear that?
It’s prefers clear icey water
@@larryrenz2647 there are a few sturgeon, some live in muddy rivers while the saltwater ones do like the cold clear ocean.
LOVE your channel, endlessly fascinating.
Regarding Palm Oil, personally, I prefer sustainable palm oil since it encourages the best solution imho: **sustainable** farming. Boycotting palm oil would only push manufacturers to come up with a new mass mono-culture.
Reward responsible stewardship!
How can palm oil ever be sustainable?
@@AltairEgo1 Palm oil is more efficient than the alternative like soybean oil, sunflower oil, and other. Palm oil plantation can produce much higher quantity of oil per hectares compare to alternative. Meaning if we want to use the alternative, we need even more land to meet the demand.
Sustainable usually actually means they just displace humans instead of animals
@@malikfaisal416 why does literally everything use palm oil now when it wasn't even a thing a few decades ago?
@@kimarnabcuz back then only asian using palm oil, but since it getting popular so it starting to be more popular nowdays especially in western.
Palm oil plants can actually grow in the harsh environment/soil, so its the best oil plant that can be easly sustainable if done right. Also its cheaper than olive and other oil plants.
And deforestation of palm oil is not as massive as the media said. Sometimes when they just renewed the farm by planting new palm oil plants, media gaslight it by making false news of "deforestation".
Too many comments to scroll through so I have to share my mother's experience at a zoo in Palawan I think. So there was a bearcat there, and she expected it to roar. Instead it gave out a mew - that's the cat part of it
i'm so proud to have this popcorn scented drunk uncle as my university's mascot
Do the Devil's coach horse beetle, Ocypus olens! I see them around my place outside of Olympia Washington but I guess that they are found around the world. When I've had the time to watch one they kind of remind me of an insect honey badger.
I have never even heard of this animal before whaaaat!!! 🤯 Animalogic, you never disappoint
I just saw some of these dudes in a zoo, what a beautiful and interesting creature :o
The reason it’s scent glands smell like popcorn is because they are 🍿 through a process referred to as “the browning reaction” 😂
They smell like popcorn?!
Okay, going to see movies will never be the same experience XD.
Please talk about cocmixtle or xolotl (I'm from Mexico and I love those animals)
Thank you for introducing more and more cute&wonderful animals to me xD!
Haven't heard or seen about this little guy, so kewwwwwt
Animalogic,
All Animalogic Folk,
Thank you very much for making learning fun, funny and interactive. I want my daughter to watch these videos and have as much fun as I do
same goes to "Musang Pandan" - asian palm civet
when they are near.. you can smell Pandan leaves : delicious smell that encourage you to find & eat cake 😅
No need to wear perfume, such lucky animal 😅.. i saw twice during my study at utm.. walking very silent and always keep hidden..
mitos itu tong yang bener kotorannya yang bau pandan kayak luwak kalau makan kopi
@@king.canute21 gapernah ketemu musang pandan mas? hahahaha, musang pandan ngeluarin baunya kalo lagi terancam. sering kok dan emang baunya persis kayak daun pandan.
@@aulyanrahman itu kotorannya
@@king.canute21 wkwk mas pernah liat musang pandan liar gak? saya tinggal di desa dan hampir tiap hari liat mereka makan buah. biasanya kalo berantem sama kucing hutan, bau pandannya langsung menyengat keluar wkwk. mungkin yg kamu liat bukan musang pandan wkwk musang banyak jenisnya.
Can we get an episode on solenodons? They’re awesome!
What fantastic looking creatures!
Nature: "So, what animal do you wanna look like?"
Binturong: *Y E S*
lol
There's also a variety of a Cassia called Senna didymobotrya, whose leaves and early blooms smell just like movie popcorn. I've often wondered what the plant was trying to attract that likes the smell.
This is my favorite animal! : )
can’t help but smile when I look at this goofy lad
So stoked to have found this video! I saw one of these years ago at the San Diego zoo and couldn’t remember what it was called or even how to describe it to search for it. Bear/cat/monkey sounds about right
I like Binturongs! I've seen them a few times, and we may get one at the zoo I work at it, though it isn't official. So this was defenitely interesting :) What animal will be next? I'm still rooting for the dhole!
megadracosaurus why would you need one at your zoo? Let it live in its natural habitat. It doesn't like your zoo prison
But do they taste like it
Riffnoo hahahaha lol
Lmao
Nice one
*on this episode of myth busters....*
Their genitals do (Maybe?)
Danielle, your illustrations are awesome as are your narrations.
Congrats Danielle!
She’s wearing an omnipod.. omg that explains everything.
MicsPigeon I am indeed.
Danielle Dufault You are the reason why I enjoy this channel. It’s informative . Love your charisma and the drawings. :D
😱 I thought my knowledge of animals was efficient I guess not.
I am reaserching them in school! It has been so fun and this has helped me study ❤️
I used to think these animals were cats, looks like I've Binturong. I also thought they were aggressive like bears but turns out they have just bing chilling.
Please do one on Nile monitors.
I've literally never even heard of this animal before. I like it.
You are awesome for the act of: not asking for a donation to improve situation for threatened species, but rather- advise on purchasing power where one chooses where to spend money that they will be spending one way or another.
Thanks Animal Logic
Just discovered your channel thanks to Rob Gavigan. This is the first video I've watched and I'm hooked ❤
Please do a video on clams.
yeah a vid on clams
UMBRELLA BIRDDD
Love this show because I get to see animals I would never know about!
I’m back from scouts camp and this is my totem. I love em already
I remember seeing this thing in a zoo when I was little. It scared me shitless but at the same time it looked fuckin' badass, like he was the sole survivor of a major battle, scars included.
Kieth Lee
I guess lol
So love you Danielle!!!
I’m not even joking. I feel like they can be a HUGE addition to the mental health space. They’re demeanor, size, and playfulness. Easily domesticated. We need to make a push for these to be regular house pets. It could save the species!
Reminds me of my uncle except they don't talk about politics all the time
they do though.
Please do Ostrich
So interesting! Really enjoyed watching, super informative. They're so cute... Love it. Subscribed!
Ngl i zoned out briefly and then heard "maillard reaction." And as a chef i was like wtf are these little guys searing
Can you please do mandrill
Great you made me hungry
Lol
Another new animal I learned about from this channel.
Lol remember first seeing them in a zoo in spain just lounging around their enclosure just vibing. I really like em.
yes they are cool animal
It looks like a pokemon in real life its soooo cuuutttteee 😍😍😍
*Dies happily 😖
Please don't die....yet..
You can see that here in Philippines .. 😊
You can see that in south east asia, nobody gives a shit. Don't be so proud.
@@brettlorenzpatricio5419 chill douche
This channel is my new addiction, never knew some of these animals even existed
This channel is full of adorable!
*So I literally just came here from the "4 levels of Meatball" video that's trending, where they educated me about the Maillard reaction. What are the chances the next video I watch (this one) would be discussing the same thing? It's honestly a really weird coincidence, hearing Maillard reaction twice within the same 10 minutes...*
Algorithm.
I live in southeast asia but havent seen one even know the name😕😑
we have some here in palawan, philippines. I saw one in the wild when I was young.
Whats southeast asia like to live?
These guys are AWESOME!!
I am watching your channel since a long time thank you for giving me knowledge about animals ☺
Avoiding all products with palm oil is a pain. Does anyone know where I can donate to offset my palm-oil footprint?
It makes me sad that we're usually always the cause of animals being endangered😔
Gothboi K We humans, sadly are always, the direct or indirect cause of the destruction of all living things.
@@christinebuckingham7334 That's wrong.
*We* aren’t the cause; the rich people profiting from deforestation and poaching are the cause of animals becoming endangered.
I really anjoy every video you make! Ypu are the lind of person a could drink a coffee and draw :)
Is there truly beautiful animals. I have the pleasure of meeting one last week and what a remarkable experience. But then again all creatures are beautiful.
snake necked turtlesssssssssssssssss
I have to disagree with your last point. We need to drastically change our way of life. You cannot produce all the amount of palm oil that is currently required sustainably. Also, you cannot cover the current demand for plant oil with other oil sources, since palm oil is supposed to be the most efficient. So, we need to reduce the volume of consumed goods per capita in the "western societies", which is ridiculously high and change the economic growth model. This might seem like an impossible task, but if we want to be realistic, that's our goal
I've never heard of these guys but I love them.
Hi Danielle, enjoying your videos thanks
