The binturong (Arctictis binturong) (/bɪnˈtjʊərɒŋ,ˈbɪntjʊrɒŋ/, bin-TURE-ong, BIN-ture-ong), also known as the bearcat, is a viverrid native to South and Southeast Asia. It is uncommon in much of its range, and has been assessed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because of a declining population. It is estimated to have declined at least 30% since the mid-1980s.[2] The binturong is the only species in the genus Arctictis.
