Kinkajou

Scientific Name: Potos flavus

DID YOU KNOW?

• Kinkajous are often mistaken for monkeys but they’re actually related to raccoons!
• They have a fully prehensile tail, acting like a fifth limb for climbing.
• These little “honey bears” love nectar and play an important role in pollination.
• They are nocturnal, meaning they sleep during the day and explore the canopy at night.

EVERY SPECIES COUNT

Kinkajous face threats from the pet trade, habitat destruction, and hunting.
