Etymology
Bearcat is an English nickname that joins bear and cat because the animal looks a little like both, a helpful picture to remember it by. Its true name comes from Malay binturong, and the animal lives in trees with shaggy black fur and a long tail that can grasp branches, so bearcat tells you both how it looks and how it moves.
