Are you ready for an exciting new animal encounter? Funky Monkey Ranch is thrilled to introduce our latest resident: the Binturong, also known as the bearcat! This unique and endangered animal is not only fascinating but also holds a special place in the hearts of Aledo, Texas residents—after all, the bearcat is the beloved mascot of Aledo!
What is a Binturong (Bearcat)?
The binturong (Arctictis binturong) is a rare, tree-dwelling mammal native to Southeast Asia. Known for its shaggy fur, prehensile tail, and friendly demeanor, the binturong is often called the "bearcat" due to its cat-like face and bear-like build. At Funky Monkey Ranch, we’re passionate about educating our guests about endangered species, and the binturong is a perfect ambassador for wildlife conservation.
Why the Bearcat is Special for Aledo
Aledo’s school spirit is all about the bearcat! As the official mascot of Aledo ISD, the bearcat represents strength, curiosity, and community pride. Now, you can meet a real bearcat up close—right here at Funky Monkey Ranch, just a short drive from Aledo. We’re excited to offer:
- Educational bearcat encounters for families and school groups
- Special Aledo Bearcat Days with mascot appearances
