    The document describes the manturón, or binturong, a species of carnivorous mammal. It is the largest in its family, with males reaching up to 95cm long and weighing 10-15kg. It has long, shaggy black fur with silvery tips and a white border around its ears. While omnivorous, it mainly eats fruit but will also eat small animals, insects, and carrion. As the only Old World carnivore with a prehensile tail, it is well-adapted for climbing trees, though it moves through trees carefully and slowly. The manturón is the only species in its genus.
