Bye-Bye Baby Binturongs...
01/02/2020
Binturongs are fascinating animals related to Civets. They have been kept at Hamerton for decades, and bred many times. In recent years we have bred the Javan Binturong very successfully and now have two breeding pairs, both with babies. We are delighted that other zoos are now becoming interested in keeping these animals to help preserve them for the future. As part of this inter-zoo co-operation a pair of Hamerton born Javan Binturongs has just made the journey to Zoo Duisburg in Germany. Last year we sent Hamerton Binturongs to Australia, and two more moves are planned for the coming year.
