FOX 5 FIELD TRIP: Meeting binturongs a.k.a. bearcats at the National Zoo!

FOX 5's Erin Como is on the Claws and Paws Pathway at the National Zoo to meet some new friends including binturongs a.k.a. bearcats with the help of animal keeper Katy Juliano and give them a tasty treat!

Jonathan’s wife, Amber Walls Koerber, told Storyful that the water wasn’t deep enough for their kids to ride the boogie boards, but then Jonathan "suggested [that] my neighbor put one of their chickens on."

The neighbors all enjoyed a good laugh "after the shock of realizing [the bird] actually seemed to enjoy it," Amber said.
