The birth of the first Binturong baby to be born in the UK for a decade is being celebrated at a Chessington zoo.

The rare baby Binturong, born nine days ago at Chessington World of Adventures and Zoo, was named Sunti - meaning female child in Malay.

The cute infant was rejected by her mum and is currently being hand-reared by keepers.

Binturong's, known also as Bearcats, are sloth-like mammals native to south east Asia.

The animals range in size from 4ft to 6ft, including a tail which is almost as long as the body, and can weigh up to 40 pounds.
