The binturong, also known as the Bearcat, is a long and heavy predator with short legs. Their ears are short and rounded, with a white outline and tufts of black fur. Binturongs have thick and coarse, or rough, black fur. Both male and female binturongs have scent glands that make them smell like popcorn or corn chips. It also has a very thick tail, padded paws, and long claws that help them to grip onto tree branches.
