hmm, maybe I should get a binturong tail-

ohh wait I meant like a plush furry tail on a belt
but yeah this is good as well~ 💚

busy hectic rushing
until, suddenly, scruffed:

carried by the giant binturong,
thoughts, worries go quiet,
gently changing; eyes,
fur, paws, long tail,
whiskery nose.

until, hi there,
set on a branch
not far from mine;
we can chat, cuddle,
or we can just be~ 💚

The binturong could be your perfect cinema buddy 😉 , because one of the binturongs' most unusual traits is their smell. These creatures smell like hot buttered popcorn because they release a chemical compound called 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline — the same compound produced during the cooking of popcorn.

Binturong: The bearcat that smells like hot buttered popcorn

Binturongs' popcorn perfume plays a vital role in communication, helping them mark their territory and signal their presence to others in dense tropical rainforests.
