A new one to me also (reminds me of our wolverine). Thanks for sharing.

It's a shame we are gradually losing such fabulous creatures...

They sure are. Shame I only get to see them in captivity. According to Wiki, "the Binturong can make chuckling sounds when it seems to be happy".

Meet the Palawan Bearcat. Shy furry fellows. They look more amazing in person. :)
