A tree-dwelling Asian civet with a coarse blackish coat and a muscular prehensile tail.
Arctictis binturong, family Viverridae
‘When excited, the binturongs emit a variety of grunts and hisses, say researchers.’
‘Their scent glands, located near their tails, are rubbed along branches as they walk or are deliberately rubbed against upright branches to deposit an oily musk as a signal to other binturongs.’
‘Only two members of the carnivore family have prehensile tails - the binturong and the kinkajou.’
‘For these animals, as well as another 45 moon bears and 14 sun bears, 50 macaques, 30 gibbons, 10 crocodiles, 4 binturongs, and 200 dogs, Banglamung Wildlife Breeding Center is essentially a well-appointed refugee center.’
‘Good pets, cats, dogs, things like that, not binturongs.’
