I've never considered him before but I am now

One of the greatest joys in life is showing people cool animals! These guys are sick! I am a giant fan of em!

After careful consideration I have concluded that I wouldn't mind looking at an additional binturong.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago

They are super super cool! I am a huge fan of these guys and everyone else should be too! I get excited about animals!

My man looking like a creature from Endor that's peeking at you between the trees while you fix your x-wing.

I'm seeing a lot of enthusiastic love for these critters, I'm gonna be honest that critter has a disconcerting visage. If I were walking in a forest and turned around and saw one staring at me in the daylight I'd be startled, if I came across one at night I might jump out of my skin.

I am sure they make up for this with an affable personality and an impressive suite of forest skills, and I'm 'miring those paws and that phat tail.

the tail is also prehensile, they use it as a climbing aid

Perhaps i symbolically identify with the binturong as an avatar of possible self.

Therapy: 0

You have considered the binturong admirably and with striking honesty, and I am left with new considerations.

I had a kinkajou as a kid, the much smaller version of these. It was one of my favourite animals of all time. I'd love to rescue one of these and raise it as a child.

Doomer: we may survive climate change but guys like this wont. Whatever world we are entering into has already been stripped of so much beauty and theres so much more to come. No matter what, we have changed the earth im an ugly way

[–] JustSo@hexbear.net 4 points 4 days ago

the Anthropocene and its consequences

Still not gonna do anything to make it stop, though.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago

I do, on a more consistent basis than most. Theyre a fave animal of mine.

That's the guy who poops posh coffee right? Thank you for your service my good sir.

[–] SerialExperimentsGay@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Just a distant relative of that critter (the palm civet). Bonturongs are the ones that smell like popcorn.

[–] dansemacabreingalone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They make cats that smell like my favorite snacks? The world is so fucking cool sometimes.

Technically it's a feliform that looks like a catbearsealmonkey, but basically yes.

[–] moh@hexbear.net 3 points 5 days ago (2 children)

i am so considering right now, i will consider more than anyone has before x3

[–] moh@hexbear.net 4 points 5 days ago

after much consideration i've found the binturong to be a friend and also adorable :o

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago

As a bit of an animal nerd, these guys are like...near capybara level of perfect life.

they really do. was at a zoo once, the binturong was nowhere to be seen becaue they're not that active during the day, but i could absolutely smell the popcorn.

[–] JustSo@hexbear.net 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I thought it was popcorn smells like binturongs and binturongs smell like vaped weed. for the obvious reason.

All of these actually just smell like 2-Acetyl-1-pyrrroline

[–] moh@hexbear.net 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

whaaat? wish i smelled like popcorn :p

[–] Apocalypteroid@anarchist.nexus 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

All you have to do is bathe in butter for like 45 minutes a day
