Blondie's downward glance does seem to reveal some sort of subplot here....... |

I've never seen one of those before..........question is, how did it get loose, are there others, how does this account for the animal kills etc |

We only have one guy's eyewitness account & his opinion. I think a binturong would've been noticed by now, & it would've been heard (noisy buggers). |

Edinburgh zoo has two binturongs, but I'd have heard if either of them had escaped |

Funny you should say that-we had a pet binturong for many years, and the females really do smell like buttered popcorn! (Males smell like polecats-ugh) Even if a pair escaped in your neck of the woods, I'd bet they wouldn't survive. They aren't adapted to any seasonal food supply, such as spring nesting of birds. They are omnivores, but I think winter food shortages would do them in. |
