🐈Binturong
Binturong (Arctictis binturong) är den största arten i familjen viverrider. Djuret är den enda arten i släktet Arctictis. Binturong kallas även björnmård och björnkatt, vilket kan orsaka förväxlingar med kattbjörn (röd panda). Ordet Binturong är av indonesiskt eller malajiskt ursprung och uttalas med betoning på den andra stavelsen ("bin-TU-rong").
