Binturong — size comparison — facts and sources
The binturong is an arboreal member of the civet family inhabiting humid tropical forests. It moves carefully along branches, and the ability to rotate its hind feet helps it descend trunks headfirst. Long, pale guard hairs and white whiskers lighten its almost black outline.
It eats chiefly fruit, supplemented by eggs, insects and small vertebrates. It usually lives alone and is active at dawn and dusk. The seeds of some fig trees germinate better after passing through its digestive tract.
