Bearcat
Bearcat is another name for the Binturong, a viverrine mammal from Southeast Asia. It is also a colloquial term for mountain lion or wolverine. It is a nocturnal animal with a long husky tail, tufted ears, small eyes, naked soles and palms, a small pointed face and elongated body.
It is grayish in color and feeds on fruits and meat. Its habitat is in the deep forest, but it also ventures to more open locations, especially when looking for food. The Bearcat enjoys feeding on blueberries. The Bearcat is the mascot for the collegiate basketball programs at the State University of New York at Binghamton
