A binturong is an mammal from South Asia that looks like a cross between a bear and a cat.

They have a prehensile tail like a monkey, which means they can hold their entire weight from their tail, and they love banana. They also smell like popcorn. Their fur is a bit scratchy and they are pretty heavy, so their tails must be very strong.
Also have a look at Hoo Farm in Telford, that’s where we did the experience

Hey! Binturongs are so cool! I have seen one at Chester zoo, though mostly when it is sleeping. The coolest thing about them is that they smell like buttered popcorn.
