Banjo
Male BinturongBorn 1991Rescued 6/15/95Died 2/11/14Banjo was used in classroom presentations by Wildlife Educators of America in Castaic, CA and was sent here when it was discovered that he was a he and not a she.He was Staff Member Vern’s favorite animal here and since Vern builds the enclosures, Banjo has one of the biggest. Banjo was also a favorite of tour guests. His unusual appearance and even more unusual scent of popcorn amazes the crowd. Even though Banjo has an enormous enclosure, he always hangs out in the same old corner, where he has the best view down the paths so he can keep an eye out for volunteers bringing him his favorite treats.https://youtu.be/g-cTTOebSrURead Banjo's Tributes
