Have you ever heard of a
binturong [bin-
too r-awng]? A binturong is an animal, a kind of civet that lives in the trees of South and Southeast Asia and has a long, prehensile tail. My family and I love to watch the binturongs at our zoo, especially my son, Nick. It's Nick's 17th birthday today, and in honor of that, binturong is our word of the week. I wrote a few sentences using the word:
Binturongs are also called bearcats.
Binturongs smell like popcorn.
(Really, they do!)
The binturong walked across the log
like an acrobat on a tightrope.
How would
you use the word binturong? Are there any unusual animals that you like to watch at the zoo?
