You had me at Bear Cat (sound on)
I’ve held a binturong many times, and yes, they do frequently accidentally strangle their handlers. They’re also little chaos demons who can, and will, use all of their intelligence and willpower to make your life as difficult as possible, and get great joy out of doing so. They have the personality of a raccoon with an increased physical ability for mischief making due to their claws and tail.
Also they smell like oddly musty popcorn and will make you smell like oddly musty popcorn for the rest of the day.
If you can’t have the sound on, for whatever reason, it’s just the guy talking about binturongs; but the most relevant bit is “they have a very strong prehensile tail, so they can use those to grab tree branches, or choke their handler”.

yes.
Can I offer you a nice mole in these trying times?
you sound like a starship's central computer that has little grasp on what humans find enjoyable
that’s the nicest thing anyone’s ever said to me
PSA: Please don't hold moles like that
I’m not “holding” the mole.
The mole bit the stick as I was saving it from a dog. When they bite down, they do not readily let go, and you are able to transport them to safety.
