bearcat
Shaggy tree climber
Bearcat names several animals that aren't actually bear-cat hybrids.
The binturong of Southeast Asia is sometimes called a bearcat—a stocky, tree-dwelling creature with shaggy black fur.
The red panda has also been called a bearcat.
In early 20th-century American slang, a bearcat was a spirited, attractive, or fiercely capable person: She's a real bearcat.
The term now appears mainly as a mascot name.
