Field Notes

Notes:

This sleepy Binturong (Bearcat) named Perak lives at Adelaide Zoo. This south-east Asian animal is not a bear or a cat - it is a species of the family Viverridae, and the only member of its genus. It is nocturnal, sleeps on branches and eats mostly fruit. If you want to see some serious cuteness, search for 'Baby Binturong' images on Google!
