Binturong: Musk-Scented Tree Climber

The Binturong, or "Bearcat," isn't a bear or cat but rather a tree-dwelling mammal from Southeast Asia, renowned for its musky scent. Their musk glands release an odor reminiscent of popcorn or corn chips. Female binturongs can delay implantation after mating, controlling pregnancy timing based on favorable environmental conditions. A binturong typically gives birth to a litter of 3-6 young.
