Description:
Summary[edit] Description: The Palawan binturong or Palawan bearcat (Arctictis binturong whitei) is a subspecies of the binturong that is endemic to the Philippine island of Palawan. Distinguishing characteristics are the ears that are lined with white fur, and long, white whiskers that can be as long as the length of its head. Generally docile when handled, the bearcat nevertheless has sharp claws and teeth that can easily rip through flesh. It can suspend itself by curling its strong prehensile tail around branches. Its vertically oriented pupil indicates that it is a nocturnal animal. It has coarse, thick black-brown fur.(Puerto Princesa, Philippines, May 2013). Date: 19 May 2013, 11:02.
