Arctictis binturong

Confusingly Arctictis binturong
Is called a bear and also called a cat.
Its tail is furry long and very strong
And when the beast’s asleep it’s hairy flat.
It wields its furred prehensile tail (rope-like
Appendage at its bushy backside end)
When foraging and doing its grope hike
Through Asian trees to wander and to wend
Its way to fruity suppers and to eggs
It finds in unsuspecting nests.  It eats
Small animals and doesn’t count their legs.
The mama binturong has furry teats.
Yep, it’s a mama mammal, nocturnal,
Her soft furred lullaby is diurnal.
