The “buttered popcorn” smell is from their urine, by the way. It’s a chemical named (2)-acetyl-(1)-pyrroline, sometimes shortened to (2)-AP. It’s found in lots of things, but when the concentration is high enough, you get the buttered popcorn smell.
Tiger and Indian leopard urine apparently also have enough (2)-AP to smell distinctly like buttered popcorn.

OK, I’m starting to believe that we’re in a new timeline or something, because a buttered popcorn scented bearcat has never been heard of before… and I’m 48 years old. Things are just popping out of thing air now. Lol.
Also, Nancy Pelosi retired today? I swear she retired when Nelson Mandela did… but seriously, I didn’t think she was still in Congress. She hasn’t said a peep this year until like two days ago?? WTF.

Here’s a face pic for the rest of us who are new to this beast.
Natalie Geographic pic doesn’t make it look as big as the video, tho!
“I went to the zoo
Just the other week
Saw the kangaroo
Had a talk with the chimpanzee
He said, “Hey brother, if you want a thing
that’s hip. Do the bearcat.”
Do the bearcat
Mmm….
That’s the name of this song
Do the bearcat
Take a little lesson and you can’t go wrong
Do the bearcat
Mmmmmm…
That’s the way we like it
Do the bearcat”
When i was in High School our mascot was a Bearcat. I always thought that was some made up name and thought it was silly. 35+ years later I find out here its an actual animal. I shouldve known that lol.

Aptly named
Looks like he’s wearing a suit that he could just unzip, you know, on those warm summer days.
I see their image all over here in Cincinnati.
