Binturong as Totem

The binturong; related to civets, genets and linsangs - is also known as a the bearcat (though it is neither a bear or a cat!) They are Vulnerable due to habitat destruction - they live in forest canopies - and poaching.

They are very vocal animals, and are even known to make chuckling noises when they are happy. They are important for seed dispersal, particularly the native species of the strangler fig.

Ha--reminds me of the time a captive binturong got loose in Pittsburgh when I lived there. Confused the hell out of people.

You know, I've never even heard of these guys until now. My education continues!

I love the fluffiness of his fur, it makes me want to cuddle it.
