This is a 7 week old baby Kinkajou owned by Phoenix member Samantha of Samantha's Amazing Animals. When he grows up he will be around two and a half feet long. He has a prehensile tail that allows him to swing through trees like a monkey. But he isn't related to monkeys at all. He is actually related to raccoons. Kinkajous are very gentle creatures. In the wild they love to eat honey. Some people even call them "Honey Bears". They also eat fruit, small birds and their eggs, small mammals, and even bugs. They are fairly common in the forests of South America. They can live to around 20 years old. |
