Meet The Binturong!

Fun Facts. They are often described as smelling like buttered popcorn because their urine contains 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline, the chemical compound that gives popcorn its aroma. Baby binturongs are called binlets. They have extremely long tails which they use to balance when moving along tree limbs.

The binturong is the only mammal from Africa, Asia, or Europe and one of only two carnivores with a prehensile tail (the other is the kinkajou). Binturongs can swim fairly well and have good vision day or night, and so can be active at any hour they choose.
