Lucy the "Bearcat"

Lucy is neither a bear nor a cat. Discuss. 

Discussion: 

• Her Cincinnati Zoo handler told me that he's been Lucy's handler since she was very young, so they know each other well and she knows she gets treats when she gets hauled out of her cage at the zoo and taken to UC games.
• Her favorite foods/treats are bananas and hard boiled eggs. To which Ray replied: Mine too! Ha. 
•  "Bearcats" are part of the mongoose family, the Zoo handler said.
• To me she looked like a Rodents of Unusual Size, from the Princess Bride. But I guess they can call her a bearcat if they want.
• Lucy is nocturnal, so staying awake during the day games is tough for her.
• She looks like she'd eat your face off if given a chance, but the handler said she's used to people. Well, mostly him.
