Can You Identify this Animal ?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

They live across SE Asia but habitat loss and poaching is not kind to them.

Never saw this creature before my first visit to Phnom Tamao, almost exactly 13 years ago

Didn't know what they were. Had never seen before

Spent some time telling people about the strange cat, bear dog creatures climbing on poles
