Binturong are also known as Bearcats, however they are neither a bear nor a cat! Native to Southeastern Asia, Binturongs are classed as Vulnerable in the wild due to their dramatic population decrease. They are one of very few mammals with a prehensile tail (used for grasping or holding onto branches).
