Binturong aren't I a barrell of fun? The binturong has the advantage that when it climbs to high it can rotate it's ankle 180 degrees and climb down forward as can the Red Panda from Nepal, Coati from Sth America etc..  Arctictis binturong,Binturong Click/tap to enlarge

The binturong is a species of the family Viverridae, which includes the civets and genets. It is the only member of its genus. The binturong is not a bear, and the real meaning of the original name has been lost, as the local language that gave it that name is now extinct.
