The binturong, also nicknamed the “bearcat”, belongs to the civet family. It looks like a small, sleepy bear, with a long gripping tail and big ears with white tufts. It is one of the few mammals, apart from primates, with a tail that can really grip. It eats 80% fruit, even though it is classed among the carnivores, and it helps forests grow back by spreading fig seeds. Its body gives off a smell of hot popcorn, caused by a molecule in its urine, the very same one found in popcorn. Its numbers have dropped by more than 30% in 30 years, because of deforestation and poaching. The park supports ABConservation, a charity that protects binturongs in Southeast Asia.
