The scent of binturong musk is often compared to that of warm buttered popcorn and cornbread.

Which is why their habitat doesn't include the South

aw cute thing

thank u unregistered

so happy unregistered is back!

bear & cat is such a dream combo!

omg i <3 u biturong

are you as gentle as you look?

is fruit salad dinner or dessert?

do you hang out with the orang utang?

has anyone ever told you you look like alice the goon?

can i rub your belly?

when you stand up you look like you're wearing zubaz made of mink did you know that?

who is your favorite relative, the mongoose, the meerkat or the civet?

maybe this animal is cute in person, but the first picture is of a fearsome and terrifying creature that belongs on a metal album cover with gothic lettering.

this animal is awesome

gothic lettering that reads "õtter dämmerung"

omg i love the binturong!
look how cute she is with her whiskers and thick wavy fur! <3

i didn't realize how big it was until i watched the video!
the sleeping picture reminds me of my cats

not going to ruin the cute sanctity of this thread by linking 2 any of them but almost all photos of binturongs not among those already posted here are pretty hellish & terrifying, this one's pretty well groomed the others all have like, froth around their mouths and hair all frayed

ive never heard of this thing but i'm glad the world has a loping tree mammal

haha yeah, i looked at some other pics of wild ones and they are def wild
xp

Hellish? Terrifying? Me?

tapir? little wild pig?

^ <3 him

nothing can top the pic in the OP, looks so tragic and misunderstood, like, i could cry

yeah total misunderstood outcast bro

just wishes he were a normal animal like a cat or a bear

I think that other little guy is just a wild piglet. Very very cute, though.

haha yeah he kind of looks like the awkward adolescent period between cat & bear xp

hihihihihihihihihihi

oh, stop. binturongs love hugs and bellyrubs, and if you piss one off by not hugging it enough, the worst it will do is spritz you with its hot buttered musk and go back to being an adorable weasel-headed grizzly bear. what have you done with your life, flopson?

unregistered you sure know a lot about binturongs.

I KNOW RIGHT

*preens whiskers nervously*

lol

i am pro binturongs.

binturongs are p good. i just looked at hella binturongs, and i didn't see many foamy or unkempt. they get scary sometimes like this guy

jesus christ flopson these guys are basically just indonesian raccoons, you scared of raccoons too?

i mean i admit i have a much friendlier relationship with raccoons than your average person but still

http://benrakenthir.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/nz-binturong-show1.jpg

i'm so glad i know about this animal

*big* indonesian raccoons

i really _really_ hate raccoons actually and yes i am afraid of them but--not without good reason! we once heard two raccoons fighting in a tree (mother raccoon defending baby raccoons from male raccoon) and seriously it sounded like torture. i shudder at the mere thought. also when i was a child my neighbours' cats were murdered by a raccoon (entered through the cat door) while they were on vacation. they returned home to find their walls and floors covered in blood, their cats splayed across multiple rooms, and a raccoon hissing and spitting at them in a corner of their living room. raccoons are NOT okay! don't be fooled!

hahaha i was just about to go find those photos :D

they haunt my thoughts, tlg.

i am down with raccoons, but lets get real: no one ever looked at a raccoon and thought to call it a "Bearcat"

well that's just cause its not nearly as big as a bear

i got a bit of shit for those photos but i stand by my actions

Ha! As soon as I read "raccoon" I thought of those pics. <3

i am not a fan of urban racoons, especially cat-killing ones
but i like this binturong creature and its giant tail

popcorn turtles!

tiny turtles freak me out kind of

it feels like you might accidentally swallow one whole & it wld live out its days in yr colon, furious & resentful, & yet you know ppl on the internet wld cast you as the villain

yeah, they're like... too tiny

they're coming 4 u all

i love popcorn turtles. want one as a desk buddy.

Yeah, you guys are weird. Those micro turtles are adorable.

tortoises people, tortoises!

Those micro turtlestortoises are adorable.

thank you

we probably need an animal appreciation subboard

omg

WHY HAVEN'T I THOUGHT OF THIS BEORE?

i freaked out yesterday because my turtles toes turned pink but then i found out that its because he got too comfy basking in the sun and didn't move enough and the blood pooled in the toes, no biggie. toes look normal today.

just take over i love cars and make it i love CaRitterS

i get very worried about how small they are

like they dont repulse me or anything, i just get the willies looking at them the way ppl do w/ stuff on the trypophobia thread
