Binturongs!

Not quite bears, not quite cats

The binturong – or 'bearcat' – is a fierce, canopy-dwelling omnivore, with a prehensile tail, a sweet tooth for figs, and a smell like buttered popcorn; it is also threatened . . .

The binterong's habitat is vanishing fast and, while many wildlife conservationists recognise the need to protect this threatened creature, it is difficult to find financial support to help keep this species from harm. The 'bearcat', like many other often under-documented small mammals and reptiles, are becoming the unsung victims of rapid deforestation.
