The kinkajou (Potos flavus) is a nocturnal rain forest mammal related to the raccoon. Occasionally known as the honey bear, an adult kinkajou usually weighs only 5-6 pounds. Classified as a carnivore for its sharp teeth, it actually prefers to eat fruit. Living high in South American trees, they are not a rare animal but they are not often seen.
