Kinkajou
Photograph by Mattias Klum
Kinkajous, like this one pausing between sips of balsa blossom nectar in Panama's Soberania National Park, are indigenous only to the tropical forests of Central and South America. These photogenic tree-dwellers have the appearance of a bear and the agility of a monkey, but they actually belong to the raccoon family.
