Description
The Binturong is also known as the Asian Bearcat,the Palawan Bearcat and simply the Bearcat. It is not a bear,and the real meaning of the original name has been lost,as the language that gave it that name is now extinct. Its natural habitat is trees of the forest canopy in rain forests of Bangladesh,Bhutan,Burma,Cambodia,China,India,Indonesia,Laos,Malaysia,Nepal,the Philippines,Sri Lanka,Thailand and Vietnam.
It is nocturnal,eats primarily fruit,but it also eats eggs,shoots,leaves and small rodents or birds. Deforestation has greatly reduced its numbers. When cornered the Binturong can be vicious. It can make chuckling sounds when it seems happy and a high pitch wail if annoyed.
