ANIMAL OF THE WEEK
The binturong or “bearcat” is a viverrid native to south and Southeast Asia. They have a bushy prehensile tail which they use as a counter balance and to help with climbing. Both females and males have scent glands which produce a popcorn or corn chip like smell. #Binturong

For our final shark of Shark Week we are looking at the Oceanic Whitetip.
These sharks are unfortunately Critically Threatened due to fisheries and bycatch. They have fins which are longer than most other sharks and have a characteristic white tip at the end of their fins.

Today’s shark is the Blacktip Reef Shark. If you’ve been to an aquarium with sharks chances are you’ve seen these smaller sharks, as their name suggests they have unique black and white at the end of their fins. #Sharks #SharkWeek #BlackTipReefShark

Thursdays shark is the Great Hammerhead. When I was younger I found it hard to believe these awesome sharks existed, I still think they are absolutely insane and probably some of the most distinct sharks around. #Shark #SharkWeek #Hammerhead

Today’s shark is arguably the most widely known shark in the world. The Great White. The largest of the mackerel sharks (remember the mako) and is the last surviving member of the genus charcharodon.
