The Kinkajou (Potos flavus) is an arboreal mammal that lives in the tropical rainforests of Central America and South America. The species is distinguished from other procyonids by their small, rounded ears, extensible tongue, and prehensile tail. Other characteristics are their large eyes, short pointed snout, short limbs, and sharp and short claws. They have a tawny olive, wood brown, or yellowish tawny upper coat, and their underparts and lower side of the tail can be buff, tawny, or brown-yellow. The Kinkajou mostly eats a frugivorous diet of figs, but they also eat leaves, flowers, and various herbs.
