1. It is also known as the Asian bearcat, although it is neither a bear nor a cat.
You can see the bear resemblance, though.
2. It has a (very bushy) prehensile tail.
Useful for climbing trees in those forests.
3. It gives off a scent of popcorn to mark its territory.
How neat is that?
4. It has white whiskers.
Rather like a cat.
5. A nocturnal creature, it loves sleeping during the day.
Another cat-like trait, all that sleeping.
6. Its cubs are, needless to say, completely adorable.
If only you could take one home.
