Bearcats. They really do too! They’re neat little (well not that little) guys. =)
She saw it on Dirty Jobs I’m assuming?

Yeah the bear cat which is also known as a binturong. They look like a bear but are in the cat family-hence the name. I went to a Jack Hanna show a couple of months ago and he had a bear cat there-pretty cool and a good sized animal as well. Here’s a pic I took:

Mild correction while passing by. A bearcat is neither a bear nor a cat, but is in the Viverridae family. This family includes civets and other animals that resemble both cats and weasels, but are in their own genetic namesake.
