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

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.

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

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

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, Saturday, 12 May 2012 03:28 (twelve years ago)

unregistered you sure know a lot about binturongs.

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

*big* indonesian raccoons

the late great, Saturday, 12 May 2012 18:39 (twelve years ago)

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!

flopson, Saturday, 12 May 2012 18:44 (twelve years ago)

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

♆ (gr8080), Saturday, 12 May 2012 18:57 (twelve years ago)

♆ (gr8080), Saturday, 12 May 2012 18:57 (twelve years ago)

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

♆ (gr8080), Saturday, 12 May 2012 18:58 (twelve years ago)

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

the late great, Saturday, 12 May 2012 18:59 (twelve years ago)

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

the late great, Saturday, 12 May 2012 18:59 (twelve years ago)

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

WHY HAVEN'T I THOUGHT OF THIS BEORE?

wolf kabob (ENBB), Monday, 14 May 2012 03:20 (twelve years ago)

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.

the late great, Monday, 14 May 2012 03:20 (twelve years ago)
