Arctictis binturong (Raffles, 1821)

Binturong (Arctictis binturong) je velká stromová cibetka s dlouhým chápavým ocasem, která žije v korunách stromů deštných pralesů jihovýchodní Asie. Pojmenování binturong je malajského původu, v angličtině se pak můžeme setkat s označením „bearcat“, což znamená „medvědokočka“.
