Binturong Keeper Talk at Taronga Zoo Sydney

Commonly known as a 'bearcat' has anyone ever heard of Binturong before?
These fascinating and elusive carnivores are found in regions of South-East Asia and weirdly give off a scent that smells like buttered popcorn!
Today is World Binturong Day, so sit back and tune into this incredibly fascinating Keeper Talk to celebrate this unique species!

Oh wow, what an amazing animal. Never seen one reasonably close before. Those whiskers.....lush. And all the interesting info about food, sleeping habits etc. Oh and they smell like buttered popcorn. Sounds like an animal from a children's story book. Thank you for posting.

Awesome! I'll be keeping an eye out for him next time we're at the zoo (hopefully, soon!)

The first time I know that binturongs smells like hot buttered popcorn is Zoboomafoo. When I watched Zoboomafoo Martin says, "Chris pass me the popcorn" but Chris says , "what I don't got no popcorn" lol 😅. Then Zoboo says, "all I smell is binturong". That really fascinates me in that episode of Zoboomafoo 😃 😃
