The binturong is the only Old World mammal and one of only two carnivores with a prehensile tail (the other is the kinkajou). The real meaning of the word binturong is lost now, as the local language that used it is extinct. Binturongs are also known as Asian bearcats and Malay civet cats.
A root is a part of a plant that is normally underground. Its primary functions are to anchor the plant in the ground, to absorb water and dissolved minerals and to bring these to the stem, and to store reserve foods.
Hair roots are the living parts of your hair, and they exist inside small tube-like places in the skin called follicles. As hair starts to grow, it rises up from the root and pushes out through the follicle. Eventually it comes out of the skin where it can be seen.
