Among the tropical forest upper canopy, the Kinkajou (or Indian "honey bear") feeds on fruit, insects, and flower nectar at night. Using their long prehensile tail to balance and hold and claws to grip, they noisily travel with speed and extreme agility among treetops. From Southern Mexico to Southern Brazil, this unusual appearing raccoon family member is common in forests and is hunted for its meat and dense wooly yellow-brown fur.
