Binturong Social Group

I added binturongs to my Franchise zoo the other day and this really sunk in- they have a minimum social group of two. IRL binturongs are solitary animals (which the zoopeadia states), so you should be able to keep one binturong alone. It's a bit immersion-breaking for me to keep two when most zoos only keep one in one habitat. Not a big deal but maybe this could be updated?

I'm not an expert but I've seen Binturong in 3 zoos and there's always been more than 1: Yorkshire Wildlife Park (pair), Chester Zoo (pair) & Menagerie du Jardin des Plantes (group) so it would seem usual to keep more than 1.

Yeah, they definitely can be kept in groups, Here in the US it's also very common to see facilities house individuals separately. I just think it's odd that animal solitary by nature has a minimum social group of two. It would be nice to have the option to keep just one.
