WANT!
Never heard about this animal. Cool! Love the prehensile tail (to strangle you with!)😆
I think the first time I saw a bearcat was on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson … yes I’m that old.
I wish my dogs’ urine smelled like buttered popcorn!
I wish my cats’ did. The litterbox areas would be much more appealing.
Bunny pee doesn’t smell!😁
I’ve been aware of binturongs for some years but did not know about the buttered popcorn thing.
I’ve heard of binturongs and bear cats…not sure if I would have been able to tell you they’re the same thing…
The fur on his face sorta looks like a mask…like it’s somehow separate from the rest.
Its like having a large, nibbling ottoman on your shoulder
I would not mind at all. Bearcats are cute and Wilbur is so sweet.
I think I’ve seen pictures of the binturong before, but I always thought they were like Red Panda sized. I was REALLY NOT EXPECTING it to be so large. LOL.
Makes me think that all wikipedia entries for animals should have a photo/drawing comparing the animal to a Diet Coke can for reference.
Agree!👍🏼
Or a banana!
LOL!
