4/5 the day in the life of a Binturong

Hey, my name is Betty, although some people call me Popcorn. It’s because, well I, I smell like popcorn. My sweat glands  give off a buttery popcorn scent. I use it to mark my territory. Okay, lets talk about me. (Not my sweat.) I live in a rain forest in southern Asia. I am in a carnivorous family that includes civets.  I spend most of my time in tree tops. Although when I am not lounging around, I am eating snacks. Oooh, I love snacks. I also have a  prehensile tail. That means that it can grip things, like  a hand. My species, Binturong, is one of only two carnivorous species that have prehensile tails. Fun fact about me: My tail is as long as my body.
