Binturongs are medium-sized mammals, which are also known as the “bearcat” or the “Asian bearcat” because they look like a cross between a bear and a cat. However, they are not related to either bears or cats; they are a civet. Binturongs live high in the trees of forests in South-East Asia. 

Binturongs have long, heavy bodies, and short, stocky legs. They have short, pointed snouts that contain more teeth than most carnivores. They also have many thick, conspicuous white whiskers. Their coats are long, coarse, and shaggy, which keep them dry. The main area of the coat is dark brown to black in color, but it is tipped with gray. Their faces are usually a paler color. They have long ear tufts on small, rounded ears, and reddish-brown eyes that give them rather an attractive appearance. Females are about 20 percent larger and heavier than males.

Binturongs spend most of their time slowly and cautiously moving about in the trees, however, they are not very agile. They are generally nocturnal but sometimes search for food during the day. They hunt small mammals, birds, insects, fish, and eggs, but they also eat fruit.
