binturong family

taronga has bred a third litter from their pair imported from Singapore Zoo in 2005. the first cub, a female died but two males born later and this cub seem to be thriving.
not sure if taronga quite expected binturong to become such a major attraction when designing Wild Asia. i guess it comes down to Bill Conways How to exhibit a Bullfrog analogy; display any animal right and they will become a star

This is a terrific, open-air binturong exhibit and it's fantastic that there has been major breeding success thus far.
