This video easily deserves millions of views... the bearcat is an amazing, intelligent mammal, sadly unknown to the world outside Asia. Thanks for providing such an intimate and caring portrait of this animal.

It’s a Binturong idiot stop calling it a Bearcat

[@ghrbaa6727]

I'm glad most people prefer to use the Malaysian-origin name of the species "binturong" rather than the misleading "bearcat". Ayu is also a Malaysian word which means fair/pretty. She is indeed beautiful :)

[@koreyknockout]

Saifullah Ariffin what's misleading about saying bearcat...?

[@roossenoalfathan422]

ayu bahasa jawa mas... yang berarti cantik... malaysia suku melayu... jangan meng aku aki

[@aizatsukor3359]

+Roosseno Alfathan lol... it as just what he says... ayu means fair/pretty in malaysia... it is also a common name for girls in not just malaysia but singapore and brunei as well...

[@chairulanwar5682]

this animal endemic, habitat in java, sumatra and mostly borneo kalimantan. BINTURONG Ayu means prety in Indonesia . Salam Wangi Civet lover indonesia

[@RedPandaVision]

uber cute ... and they smell of popcorn ! :D

[@droserabinata]

Wow these animals are super cool.

[@Secret-sw8ih]

I feel sad though even after watching such a beautiful video that they are killed for their parts. Esp as she is so gentle with people. Such a beautiful animal. So elegant. Deserves protection from mankind not slaughter!

[@Draconix1978]

I'm in awe, truly amazing animal!!

[@udokalnberzins3362]

[@antoniodomingogonzalezsanc6022]

Que noble es este Bituron no se parece en nada al que vi con Frank de la jungla.

[@roxanneboyce1963]

Beautiful intelligent animal. One day I hope to meet and greet.

[@animaleducationwithcoleshi5481]

Red Panda Vision - I came across your video and really enjoyed it, I wanted to share the video I did on the Binturong in cooperation with the Brookfield Zoo

[@randysyaputra900]

Ayu from.indonesia :-)

[@albertptran]

My new favorite animal

[@blakecopeland9271]

Part cat, part bear, and sort of resembles a seal too. Crazy.

[@anzaeria]

They do look a bit like a cat and a bear but are not really related to those animals. They are more closely related to weasels, fosses and mongooses. I also think they look a fair bit like a wolverine but are not related to them either.

[@Mad9977]

impressive climber =)

[@FuckTheYoutubeUsernameChange]

such cool animals! cant believe i only found out about them today!

[@IngryParra]

Tan lindo ese animalito, le quiero dar un beso, es muy lindo!!!

[@adamhidayat1860]

This creature is from Southeast Asia mostly Malaysia and Indonesia. In our language,Ayu means pretty. And its a she. Omg cuteeeeeeeeeee

[@airplanestoragehanger5283]

5:11 dear lord.

[@mr.shannon6137]

Such an awsum animal, way cooler than a lot of other animals. I dont get why there is so few vidoes about them. And why the few videos out there have so few views.

[@bixbybixby]

To me sort of looks like a cross between a raccoon and a wolverine, but with hind feet like a squirrel so can walk down a tree headfirst. Bear? Not much. KInd of like a big fisher (north america). A smorgasbord of animals!

[@marekmoo]

I hope this is Kent in England not the US :( The binturong is gorgeous!

[@RedPandaVision]

Ayu was indeed filmed at Port Lympne in the English shire of Kent :)

[@jeannee.rogers3702]

My thanks to RedPandaVision for pointing out an error on my blog page. I have made the correction, and have given Ayu her due! :-) I also thank you for stopping by to check out my page, which is dedicated to teaching children about endangered animals. warriorechidna.blogspot.com - Sincerely! Jeanne

[@thatswhatshesays]

Why do they make her hang upside down to eat? Is that her natural eating position?

[@anzaeria]

Probably to show off her prehensile tail.

[@neilacero6761]

What breed is this dog?

[@shortcut7325]

Wow a rare black panda.

[@DepanMonitor]

[@ziladilla7027]

[@dangerriff]

Damn ninja! So cute!

[@kualarompin589]

Ayu, what a beautiful Malay name. I suppose she is female, yes?

[@RedPandaVision]

Indeed .. 'Ayu' is female. :)

[@kualarompin589]

Thanks for the reply. Again, I must stated that Ayu is such a beautiful name, befitting to a beautiful creature :)

[@MrBonners]
