Meet the Palawan Binturong

Meet one of the most unique and fascinating animals in the world—the Palawan Binturong, also known as the Asian Bearcat! This rare encounter gives you the chance to feed, interact with, and snap photos with one of our curious and charismatic binturongs.

With their prehensile tails, shaggy fur, and scent reminiscent of popcorn, these tree-dwelling mammals are a true wildlife wonder—and now you can experience them up close!

All minors under 18 must be accompanied by a paying adult, no exceptions. Children MUST be at least 6 years old to participate.

All encounter guests must check in with the gift shop cashier upon arrival to sign waivers, receive wristbands, and get important information about their experience.

Encounter start times and duration may vary depending on the animal’s willingness to participate. Bookings made less than 24 hours in advance may be subject to a time change based on availability.
