University welcomes its newest mascot
Binghamton University has welcomed a new addition to its mascot team — a real-life bearcat named Bing. This summer, it was announced that Bing the Bearcat, the product of a newly formed partnership between the University and Animal Adventure Park, will join Baxter in boosting school spirit and may make a few appearances at non-sporting events on campus. He was brought to BU thanks to last year’s Road Map interns, Nora Monasheri ’23, MBA ‘24 and Mia Raskin ’23, MBA ‘24. Bearcats, also known as binturongs, are mammals native to the treetops of South and Southeast Asia. Though Bing is only five months old, he is trained as an ambassador animal — he will not be placed in stressful situations and can interact with the campus community on his terms.
