Text Box: Kinkajou Text Box: A small rainforest little creature some call the honey bear. Its coat is plush, velvety, soft and dense. Kinkajous are one of our favorite animals. If bottle-fed and handled properly they are very sweet and good natured. Even when bonded to their owner(s) they will go from person to person without hesitation, interacting with strangers just as if they were its owner. They are very quiet clean and inoffensive animals. They are nocturnal and are very active at night. They have a prehensile tail that allows them to hang from trees and branches in the wild.
