Aaron and Hannah the Binturong

I got to do something new yesterday. I played with a Binturong.

A Binturong is a “Bearcat” from Indonesia, and is a pretty neat animal. It has brushy fur, a prehensile tail, great hands… and feet for holding onto things and a very palyful attitude. It says their musk smells like popcorn… but Hanah wasn’t very smelly at all. Another neat feature is that it is believed that they are capable of embryonic diapause, or delayed implantation, which allows the female of the species to time parturition to coincide with favorable environmental conditions.
