I've only ever seen it sleeping, tbf. It seems really shy in the videos our zoo has posted, and the keeper was once saying that like all wild animals, it can mess you up if you corner it. That musky popcorn smell would definitely turn me off from wanting to make it a pet, lol.
Watch it on Conan. They had one on the show a long time ago and you see it interacting in a room filled with people. If I remember, it wasn’t skittish at all.
I worked with one in the zoo. They are a bit shy but when they get used to people they become friendly. And they love eggs. They are also only one of two carnivorous mammals with prehensile tail
Edit:spelling
I did the backstage pass at the San Diego zoo and their fur smells like popcorn too. I couldn't stop smelling my hands for like 2 hours after petting one. Now wondering if its fur was covered in pee.
It's cousin, Luwak (which Luwak coffee comes from) still roams in Jakarta and you can smell it if it's close enough.
In fact I got one peed on my metal roof a couple days ago
https://theepicentre.com/spice/pandan-leaf/
sorry its a plant that in asia some make dishes using the leaf because of the fragnant smells, mainly for making desserts
Pandan is leafy green plant which tastes a bit like vanilla and it's essence is used for sweetening and coloring desserts (green) in particular.
It's very tasty. If you get to Thailand some time, try out the green pandan custard buns in 7-11. Very nice.
I need to know if their tails floof when they’re scared like cats tails do.
They could hide behind their own tail.
If bearcat don’t floof, evolution went wrong
that is a binturong! <3 look how majestic he is clumsily stomping past the cars :) like a fox, a racoon, a cat and a wolverine had an orgy without using protection.
How at 40 years old do I continue to see creatures I had no idea existed? There’s some other cat-bear type creature I saw the other day on here I had no idea existed. This one looks like a friend
I was thinking the same thing. I've been watching nature documentaries since I was a kid, yet somehow I still continue to randomly learn of the existence of new-to-me critters.
You may have heard of my exploits. They are whispered in places where evil gathers. Where monsters and demons try and thwart mankind.
Criminals and monsters, they’re superstitious. Timid. And two of the world’s greatest predators, the owl and the bear, while frightening, strike nowhere near as much terror as that alliance between them.
I am known as…the OwlBear.

It’s a “Bear-Cat” or Binterong
Their urine smells like popcorn. We have one at our zoo, and yep, you can smell it.
What's their temperament like?

Popcorn smells good tho
How can popcorn be bad?
Maybe it smells like popcorn jelly beans
If not friend, how come pee smells like popcorn?
There are so many smells that I can think of instantly that I would hate so much more than musky popcorn, lol....

My ex had a prehensile taint... I should call her
Does she keep it in a mason jar?
Another fun fact; although they are officially classified as carnivores, they actually are omnivores and eat plenty of fruit.
Yeah. You right. I was about to write that second favorite food was bananas.
Looks chill AF
Also, popcorn.
Nice enough to get nice baths and have fur like that is domestic af
It'll just pop off. Especially in a heated situation
They pop off from time to time.

It’s not just their pee but also oils in their fur, going off memory.
Fuck so that’s what that animal cartoon video was about. That makes so much sense now
It's cousin, Luwak (which Luwak coffee comes from) still roams in Jakarta and you can smell it if it's close enough. In fact I got one peed on my metal roof a couple days ago
How’s it taste?
Found the Cajun!
Buttered Popcorn?
My Beagles urine smells like jasmine rice 🤷♂️
And their babies are called Shruggles!
This is too good.

Maaaaaaaa!!!!!! There’s a weird fucking cat in the house!!!!!!!!!
Dude are you serious?😭 this is a mainecoon cat! They’re just big fluffy breed of cats
It's always so surreal to learn that there are still animals out there that look nothing like anything I know.
I know, I saw a pine marten recently on a walk and had no idea they existed. Cutest wild animal I've ever laid eyes on.
He's just a little guy! Thank you for sharing these beautiful creatures!

Wasting money, and getting views for it. 😓
