Binturong (Arctictis binturong)
Native to Singapore: Locally Extinct
While the binturong is thought to be locally extinct here in Singapore, an individual was captured in Bukit Panjang in May 2004. There has been no information on whether this particular binturong was a former captive, or if it might indicate that binturong still linger on in our forest reserves.
