The Kinkajou (Potos flavus) is a relative of the raccoon native to Central and South America. They and the binturong are the only 2 carnivores that have a prehensile tail. They use this tail to reach flowers and fruits from higher branches. Like their cousin the raccoon, they are mainly active at night and have incredible night-vision. Kinkajous are also known as "honey bears" because of their insane sweet tooth for nectar and honey. They slurp it out of flowers the way a hummingbird would and will use their sharp claws to rip into beehives and raid the honeycomb. A good sense of smell helps them find their food, and a 5 inch long tongue helps them to lap up nectar and honey. Aside from honey and nectar, they'll also eat fruit, insects, eggs, birds, lizards, and small mammals, making them omnivores. Kinkajous also have rotating feet that grab and hang from the tree trunk so they can climb down headfirst. Because of their arboreal lifestyle, cougars and jaguars don't pose much of a threat. But predators like ocelots, margays, and harpy eagles can make short work of a kinkajou. But they do have a strong bite and long canine and premolar teeth for their size, making them very aggressive and not recommended for even the most exotic pet owners.
