Binturongs, also nicknamed bearcats, are native to southern and southeast Asia.
Their biggest threat is habitat loss due to conversion to agriculture, especially for palm oil plantations.
Other threats include being hunted for their meat, which is considered a delicacy in some parts of the world, and being captured for the pet trade.
