The animal, also known as a bearcat, is native to southern and southeast Asia, the Philippines, and Indonesia, according to the National ZooWe can't wait to tell you more about our precious binturong babies, but in the meantime, we couldn't resist sharing THIS The third bintlet is being temporarily cared for by the Animal Care and Veterinary Teams in consultation with other Association of Zoos and Aquariums that have successfully reared the animals.
“Zoo Atlanta was so excited to see Bramble and Baloo introduced in 2020, and we’re doubly excited to welcome their first bintlets,” Jennifer Mickelberg, vice president of collections and conservation at the zoo, said in. “Many of our visitors have never heard of or seen a binturong, so we have a valuable opportunity to introduce a species that is not only intrinsically valuable in its own right in its wild ecosystem, but which also has an important conservation message to share.
