Potos Flavus

This is Chewie, the kinkajou.

Chewie was the first animal here. She was found when an old tree was getting cut down and she was in it. She dropped in an ant nest. She was still a little baby.
Kinkajous are seldom seen by people because of its nocturnal habits. However, they are hunted for the pet trade, for their fur and for their meat.
They live an average of about 23 years.
