Fruit selection of a binturong (Arctictis binturong) by focal animal sampling in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo
We investigated fruit selection of a radio-collared female binturong (Arctictis binturong pageli Schwarz, 1911) by focal animal sampling in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. We recorded seven food species from 12 feeding trees over 16 months. The radio-collared binturong fed only ripe fig fruits (Ficus spp.,...
