Pictures of Binturongs
All Photos : Animals : Tree-dwellers : Binturongs
Pictures of binturongs.  Binturongs have a cat like face and a shaggy hair covered body similiar to a small bear.  This unusual look has lead to it also being known as a "bear cat". These are nocturnal animals who are classified as carnivores although their diets mainly consist of fruit.

Binturongs use scent produced by an oil gland under its' tail to signal the space it considers as personal territory.  To humans this smell is similiar to buttered popcorn! Binturongs provide several services to its' rainforest habitat including replantation by seed spreading and pest control through consumption of rodents.  They are considered endangered in some areas due to habitat destruction and poaching.
