==History==
===Conflict between Mama Binturong and the Lion Guard===
In the forest, a binturong named Mama Binturong began to hoard the area's tuliza with help from her porcupine minions. Over time, the forest animals developed a deep-rooted fear of her, to the point that even the mention of tuliza would cause them to flee in terror.
One day, the Lion Guard journeyed through the forest en route to the Tree of Life. While they were passing through the area, Smun and his prickle overheard them discussing tuliza and reported what they had heard to Mama Binturong. She, in turn, spied on the Lion Guard and witnessed Makini storing tuliza in her staff. Per Mama Binturong's orders, the porcupines stole Makini's staff and retreated with Mama Binturong to her hideout in the Stone Forest.
After learning about Mama Binturong's reputation from the forest animals, the Lion Guard resolved to get Makini's staff back. Being the only member of the Lion Guard able to navigate the Stone Forest, Bunga traveled to Mama Binturong's hideout alone and battled her for Makini's staff. Eventually, he used his stink to ruin her tuliza stash, then fled the Stone Forest with Makini's staff. Enraged, Mama Binturong resolved to leave the forest and get her revenge on Bunga.
===Mama Binturong's infiltration of the Tree of Life===
In an attempt to fool the Night Pride and infiltrate the Tree of Life, Mama Binturong pretended to be a victim of Makucha's army. The ruse worked, and the Night Pride brought her before Queen Janna at the Tree of Life. While before Janna, Rani questioned Mama Binturong on what species she was, and she claimed to be a rare species called a "ginterbong." Janna accepted Mama Binturong's explanation and allowed her to remain in the Tree of Life's territory. Per Janna's orders, Rani showed Mama Binturong to her own tree.
Later, Ono figured out that Mama Binturong was lying and in league with Makucha's army. Though Mama Binturong attempted to frame Bunga and Binga, Ullu informed the Night Pride of Ono's revelation, and Bunga and Binga chased Mama Binturong out of the Tree of Life's territory using their stink.
