Bearcats of Big Cat Rescue
Banjo
Date of Birth 1990?
Arrived 6/15/95
Banjo was used in classroom presentations by Wildlife Educators of America in Castaic, CA and was sent here when it was discovered that he was a he and not a she. He is Vern's favourite animal here and since Vern builds the cages, Banjo has the biggest. It has trees, grasslands and a view of the main road so that he can flag down and enjoy watermelon with the volunteers.
Bean & Thing
Male, & Female Bearcats
D.O.B. 1999
Bean, & Thing the Bearcats, or Binturongs were born to Elvis and Dixie who had lived together for several years with out producing any cubs. Then surprise! Bean and Thing. Elvis & Dixie were finally separated into their own BearCat-a-tats to prevent any more births. Elvis and Dixie should have been too old to reproduce and have since died of old age.
Bean is timid and prefers his own private space in the bushes of his enclosure.
Thing loves to climb and can often be found napping in the highest branch, swaying gently in the breeze.
Bear Cats are excellent climbers and use their tales to grasp the branches for balance.
In 2008 they began fighting and had to be separated into separate enclosures.
