Bearcat

The bearcat, or binturong, is a tree-dwelling mammal from the forests of Southeast Asia. It stands out with its shaggy dark fur and a tail that can grip branches like an extra hand. This unusual animal smells like buttered popcorn thanks to special scent glands.

• It has a prehensile tail that acts like a fifth limb for climbing.
• Its musk glands produce a scent resembling warm popcorn.
• Nine different subspecies exist across its range.
