new to me. they are so cuddly and adorable. evolution is so amazing. that tree only survives cause the seed passes through the binturong’s digestive system - like so many other seeds do with other animals and birds. thanks for this :) 🐱🐻🐒🌷🌱
The binturong is a civet found only in Asia, the Binturong (Arctictis binturong) is the largest extant species of civet, it’s closest living relative is the Small-Toothed Palm Civet (Arctogalidia trivirgata), making the binturong and the small-toothed palm civet the only extant representatives of the tribe Arctictini, which belongs to the subfamily Paradoxurinae (Short-Faced Palm Civets).
I live in Thailand and had never seen or heard of the Binturong. I took a trip to Safari World in Bangkok and was on my way to feed the giraffe when I saw a cage full of these weird creatures chilling out on tree branches. I looked at the little information board to find out what these strange creatures were. Bear Cats or Binturongs. I then learned that they smell of popcorn and that they are arboreal creatures that live in trees. I have seen them in other Thai zoos since but really had no idea such a creature existed until that visit to Safari World. I do have footage of them in both the Safari Park and a zoo up in Ratchaburi if anyone is interested in that? Our Man In Bangkok on TH-cam. As I said, I find them totally fascinating and unique.
I used to get jealous of people from other countries, because they have the "cool animals". Then I talked to someone from Japan, and they told me they were jealous because they thought raccoons were awesome, and they mostly live in North America. Kinda put in perspective.
I saw one for the first time in a small local zoo in Michigan City, Indiana. My wife and I spent the longest time trying to make sense of it. Had never even heard the name binturong before.
Being blind, when I learn about a new animal, I always like to know if that animal makes a sound. And if so, what kind of sound it makes. What sound do binturongs make?
Is there some way i can get ahold of one of these?😂 in a few years I’ll have a zoology degree and honestly just want one or two for conservation purposes, but they’re my newfound FAVOURITE animal since i saw them in an unusual memes vid last week😂
I wouldn't know anything about a venture except my ex-husband used to own them. He is the Oregon Birdman in Oregon and we do exotic animal shows. He has a new wife now we're all good friends.
They don’t actually leap thru the trees (like there civet cousins) primarily probably due to their size. They actually climb all the down tree to the Forrest floor to go up another.

My economics degree didn't help me understand that even a little bit.
For the non aussies, all the footage from australia zoo in this video featured steve irwin's (the crocodile hunter) kids :)
I hope you enjoyed learning about binturongs!

Beautiful creatures. Thank you for introducing them to me.

I remember some Binturongs playing some tight defense in the late 90s under Jim Calhoun.
So cool

I just saw one in my orchard farm here in the Philippines hopping from trees.

The mascot of the University of Cincinnati? Really? I wonder what the university's nickname is?? Hmmm...
I saw a binturong at Zoo Atlanta. Or rather, I smelled it, THEN saw it.
I have seen a family of them at The Tampa Zoo
Cincy girl here!!!!
I saw two at the Madrid zoo
Why would it smell like popcorn?
The first time I heard about Binturongs was when I watched ¨the Lion Guard¨ with my 6 yr old son....
currumbin wild life sanctuary has one in an outside enclosure on the gold coast queensland ,australia
For those that don’t know, this is the mascot for the University of Cincinnati (Ohio)
That was mentioned and illustrated in the video
I have seen this once in katra ( jammu and kashmir, INDIA)
Binturongs rule the world
We also call them Bearucrats no Bearcats
Don't believe a word of this! Binturongs don't make a binturight!
Turbokjut.
Who else is here after watching the tik tok of that guy playing with a binturong?
Вкусное ли мясо у них ? Хороший мех ? Хорошо ли их разводить на фермах ?
