Binturong
The binturong reaches 2 to 2 1/2 feet in length, has a dark shaggy coat, long white
whiskers and dark ear tufts. The binturong is quite u nique in having a prehensile tail; it shares this
characteristic with only one other carnivore the kinkajou. High in the tree canopy, where the
binturong can usually be found, the prehensile tail is used as an extra limb, providing support and
acting as an anchor. MORE!
