That caretaker is so calm, gentle and sweet! I love how he is so proud and how the Binturong seems so serene around him. A big praise for people who work with animals with such passion and kindness!
When I was a kid we watched Mutual of Omaha's Animal Kingdom every Sunday night after The Disney Program. I have always loved animals and was excited when all kinds of animal shows came on in the 80s & 90s for my kids. They loved Steve Irwin (RIP) and the Kratt brothers' early videos. Both of my adult children love animals/wildlife. They both moved to Montana and see great wildlife daily! I'm hoping to move there myself.
@@jjjohnson1389 no, but if a lady cat and gentleman bear (albeit it a small one), or vice versa, got friendly and didnt have any condoms or anything - that could look like the result...lol 🤣😆😅🤣😅😆
I’m so happy the vaccines weren’t stressful for Kevin. I’m a firm believer that if an animal has to be in captivity that their lives have to be enriching and contact with human as pleasant as possible. This operation went smoothly because of the time taken for conditioning so that the animal gets through it without panicking. Awesome job by all staff.
Same with me. I’m a volunteer docent at the St. Louis Zoo and zoos like the Bronx and the St. Louis Zoo place a great deal of their time on animal welfare.
So Kevin is from the Philippines since they referred to him as a Palawan Binturong. They are also called Palawan Bearcats and is native to the Palawan Islands in the Philippines & some other parts of Southeast Asia.
Binturans are like remnants from prehistoric times. I learned somewhere that their paws secrete a chemical that smells like Fritos as if this animal could get any cooler. EDIT; buttered popcorn not Fritos 😂
That’s why Kevin looks and sounds so familiar! I didn’t recognize until she said “Palawan Binturong” they’re also called bearcats and they’re native to Palawan Philippines! I’m from the Philippines so no wonder the name was so familiar lol!
For those of who don't know, this Is very urgent. Please read.. Apparently, these Binturong are now vulnerable species. (population decreasing), due to the hunting of the people. They either use their head for display, or eat them as food. #savebinturong
It's actually more due to deforestation from the palm oil industry. If you want to help them out, avoid palm oil. Its in a lot of snacks, like pringles and oreos.
A couple of Binturongs live at my local aquarium and they are SO CUTE! They're quickly becoming my new favorite animal and I'd stay and watch their habitat all day, if I could!
What a cutie pie ❣️❣️ It's like they know what's going on and understand it. If they were ignorant beings I think it would be an entirely different scene.... vocal, pushy, bratty creatures whom rarely consider any other animal's personal area unimportant enough to go and trample, maul, pulverize, and devastate at their own discretion . Lucky for us, this little guy is instead a dream boat. I love that about them and how they are able to do it all without a single flinch. Thanks so much and have a great day ❣️❣️❣️🤓
That was TOTALLY Amazing never heard of that animal before so Thankful they have kept some species from completely going extinct , Great job with his vaccinations
The IUCN still considers them vulnerable though. However, you can help binturongs too. A zoo created a palm oil app that you can use while shopping to help make sure that you are buying products with sustainable palm oil.
I used to use a method similar to what the keepers do so that my family’s elderly dog, Oreo, would allow me to give him his insulin, though I didn’t use a contraption. I tapped where I would give Oreo his shot with the cap still on and rewarded him a couple times so he’d know that I meant no harm. And to lessen stress, I also injected the insulin as quickly as I could. He managed to live more than a year because of the insulin. We had to euthanize Oreo a couple weeks ago because of a bad decline in his quality of life.
@@joseph4388 yess 100 percent. Jail is already waiting for people who keep them. In Indonesia binturong in black market have a high price. Around $500 - $1500.
Thor Odinson, that's good to know. I hope they can catch all those black market operators because sometimes big-time operators can pay their way if there are unscrupulous officials protecting them. Thanks for your reply. I hope all is well with you.
These animals are endagered. Here in the Philippines only a few survive in the wild. Not all zoos here have this animal captive unless they are injured

You and me both, Kevin.
uh huh. i just had some key lime pie.
Drummond Fengdahl I loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove key lime pie
What a cutie!! Apparently their fur smells like popcorn 😂
Actually the pee of a binturong also smells like popcorn 🍿
Leopard urine smells like popcorn, too! Crazy!
I came here to say this 😂
Koala smell strongly of eucalyptus and their natural scent which also smells like eucalyptus
@@Scarlettemberly thanks Sherlock maybe that’s because 99% of their lives is eating eucalyptus

You should see his video with Mot mot the marmot :)
It tickles me no end that his name is Kevin. I don't know, it just sounds like your buddy from the bar or work, when the critter looks so exotic!
For some reason I like the noise of animal sniffing me
Kristie Huynh I love that, too! The snuffling is so adorable.
Ha! I read that right when the fox was sniffing the camera
Hell yeah
Well, I had never heard of this animal - such a cutie though!
Susan Shore I saw one once on Leno - loved them ever since!
I wish I would have had TH-cam and channels like this when I was a kid. Say what you will about TH-cam but their educational channels are incredible.
Well... Animal planet started out as a TV channel.

They are also called "bearcats"... for obvious reasons...
But they're not a bear nor a cat
@@jjjohnson1389 no, but if a lady cat and gentleman bear (albeit it a small one), or vice versa, got friendly and didnt have any condoms or anything - that could look like the result...lol 🤣😆😅🤣😅😆

Kevin the Binturong is adorable but appears to be mainly made from dryer lint.
Cross between an old ally cat and an otter. The face this little guy has gives him personality. Love it !!!
So Kevin is from the Philippines since they referred to him as a Palawan Binturong. They are also called Palawan Bearcats and is native to the Palawan Islands in the Philippines & some other parts of Southeast Asia.
His wild counterparts are. He was most likely born in captivity.
In South East Asia bearcat only found in palawan province in the philippines
Greetings from Barbados, Kevin looks like a cross between a seal and a cute badger fox
They're also known as "bearcats"...

Butter popcorn to be exact.

So good to see a Palawan Bintorong which is found here in our country 🇵🇭 being in a zoo in Bronx and introduced to people for awareness. 😍
Kevin is a very handsome boy! And darn cute, too! Well done, Kevin! :-)
How cute is this big boy. Never heard of these animals before. Kevin is awesome 🐾
A couple of Binturongs live at my local aquarium and they are SO CUTE! They're quickly becoming my new favorite animal and I'd stay and watch their habitat all day, if I could!
I'm so proud of Kevin
He's the first animal in this channel(that I heard of so far) that came from the Philippines. Damnn. It was cute that they call him as Binturong.
Ah yes, my favorite animal: The popcorn tree bins.
That animal smells like popcorn! Also I had one placed on my shoulder before and it tried to strangle me cuz he was falling HAHA
I was more nervous for Kevin than Kevin was.
I just realised that I want sniffing sounds in all animal shows from now on
The main thing I learn and love about binturongs is that they smell like hot buttered popcorn.
🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
@Kittykitty Katt I don't think so, LoL
@Kittykitty Katt if you taste a binturong it probably won't taste like popcorn.
@Kittykitty Katt it smells like it but not taste like it
If the binturong can get vaccinated
So can your kids
True true
Really proud of our Binturong, being one of the Wildlife Ambassadors, happy much he is well taking care of. ❤️❤️❤️
Who is "our"?
South East Asia ?
Theres Javanese Binturong too in Indonesia with lighter colour and bigger.
I had NEVER seen nor heard of them, he's so beautiful!!! love his whiskers and tail!!!!😉😍😚😚😚🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
Come to Indonesia, you will know it
I saw a Binturong years ago at the San Diego Zoo and all my life I had wondered what it was and I just found out it was a Binturong cool!
AMAZING, I NEVER HEARD OF SUCH AN ANIMAL, MUCHLESS SEEN ONE! WOW!!!
I'd like to imagine they're cousins with the red pandas. They have the same physical features. And both are super adorable! ❤
What a beautiful animal, I've never heard of them. :-)
Well my new learning for this day will be this cute guy the Binturong.
I was today years old when I learnt about these. So adorable!
I have never heard about this animal before! What a cutie ♥️♥️
What a beautiful animal!💗 I'd never heard of a Binturong before.

@@Powerranger-le4up Thank you would you happen to have a link to the palm oil app????
Diane Brock if you have an iPhone or Android, it’s pretty easy to find. All you have to do is look up palm oil.
What an enchanting animal
there are many in the philipphines so friendly and cute actually he eats a many fruits like mangoosteen durian and many more .
Thx! I always prided myself on small animal knowledge but the binturong is a very pleasant surprise!
Sweet little dude.
This was my first time seeing one, what a pleasure
Kevin is a cutie!!
I love these creatures!!
So fluffy! I never knew.💕
what a handsome pair (Kevin and Mr. Castro)!
He took that better than I would 😂
He looks like a mix of cat, dog and fox. What a long tail!!!
From what I remember their closest (well known) relatives are actually Hyenas.

I’m so sorry for your loss. You seem like you really loved Oreo
Crystal Spark I was the last person to take care of him. I loved him very much. He was my buddy for more than a decade.
I didn’t realise they were real as I saw them on lion guard and I thought the writers made them up
What I'm trying to figure out is why the writers would put a Binturong in Africa, when they're native to South Asia.
@@herpderp3916 the characters traveled through the Himalayas and Southeast Asia to get to “the tree of life”
@@zixea3318 They should have been eaten or died on the way then, binturong aren't made to migrate.
When otters and raccoons first met, along came the binturong.
Ah, that's one cute binturong 🤗
Just make sure he doesn’t throw snowballs at you.
I guess a 'squeeze' seems less scary than 'crush'.
He is soooo he king cute and I live thag his name is Kevin💖💖💖💖
Proud to our very own palawan bearcat love from the philippines
that's a cool dog u got there
I want Kevin
Bananas are sweet mind blown
Binturong look like Koala too😂😂
Palawan Binturong or Palawan Bearcat.
Bornean binturong or Bornean Bearcat.
Same thing
@@Powerranger-le4up k
I thought it was an overgrown cat. I had never seen anything like that. I really have to go to zoo more often.
Kevin the Binturong
Kevin the King Cobra
Awwww this is going hurt Kevin, there will be a pain in your butt🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍
I love animals
Binturong from Palawan Philippines 🇵🇭
No I don't like water melon but I've wanted a Binturong for a very long time.
this animal is a native to my hometown but it is too difficult to find them in our forests
Great video
Kevin's cute
I love me a good bearcat.
Que animal e esse um guaxinim?
2:33 why they cut Nate like that?
There are in Sarawak & Sabah, Malaysia 🇲🇾
Indonesia has more
I never knew of this animal... huh
It’s from our country Philippines specially in the province of palawan where their species is originally from😃
a binturong? what is that? idk but i love him i love animals!
It’s also called the Palawan Bearcat. It’s native to the Palawan Islands in the Philippines and in some other parts of Southeast Asia.
Close relatives to civet and mongoose, come to Indonesia, you will know
@@sundaruu666 After that their closest relatives are Hyenas. Then Cats.
I thought it seemed like a civet. Seems it is.
It is. The biggest one
Guy goes to pet Kevin. Pets the leash instead
🙌🏼
What is this animal related to? It looks like a cat, dog, or raccoon.
They are in the suborder Feliformia, with includes hyenas and mongooses. Here is more information: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binturong
+Chris Kish It would be closest to a cat from your list, closer still to Civets
@@Trund27 wakakakakak, its cat and racoon like manul cat
