Kinkajou

Kinkhajo (Pothos · flavus) also known as Honey Bear is an unusual member of the Raccoon family (see procyonid) whose long, tortuous tail, short muzzle and low round ears are known. Kinkajou is native to some parts of Latin America and is an agile resident above the tropical forest.

Kinkujou is the only species of Potocida. It is related to raccoons and raccoons, but their appearance, behavior and ecology are like primates. In fact, kinkajou was originally described as a lemur in the scientific community. It has soft gray or brown fur and big eyes snapped into a small round face. The eyes reflect light strongly and are bright orange eyes. Kinkajou's foot can be rotated 180 degrees and there is a thick layer of short hair on the sole of the foot. Length is less than 61 cm (24 inches), not including tails of 40 - 57 cm (16 - 22 inches). Adults weigh 2 to 2 kg (4.4 to 7 pounds)

In the nighttime and arbore, kinka jaws are usually fed individually or in pairs, but stable members of the group, especially men, change their shape and return to the established tree holes for sleeping together every morning . Kinkajous, including what is called "sneezing", is very loud and has a scream, a squeaky sound, and a soft sound. It rarely leaves trees, primarily feeds fruits and insects; it also drinks nectar from flowers during drying. Garbage consists of 1 or 2 young people born in spring or summer

Kinkajou often fears humans. You can not dispose of animals, but it is sometimes called "Maskma" pet. They are considered to be calm if they are available at a young age, and kinkajous has an anal gland that produces a smoky smell when the animal is irritated or scared; kinkajous You can also provide sharp bites. In captivity, they can live more than 20 years

cacomistle, especially olingo, is a similar member of the Procyonidae family. However, these animals do not have carable tails

Kinkajous spends most of his time on trees. This is especially suitable for trees. Like raccoons, the excellent handling of kinkajous is comparable to that of primates. Kinkajou has a perfectly suitable tail of short hair (like some New World monkeys). And it is used as a "fifth hand" when climbing. It does not use the tail to catch food. You can rotate your ankle and foot 180 degrees and make it easier for animals to go down the branches first and get off the trees first. The mouth, throat, glands near the abdomen enable kinkaj to show its territory and travel route. Kinkajous sleeps in the family and changes each other. They are usually lonely when they are feeding, but they occasionally eat small groups and sometimes associate with Oringo (also fruity).

A typical kinkajou social group consists of two men, one woman and two children. Normally, kinkajous tends to move on the same route every night and stick to your area, even for one or a small group. The fragrance, scent of the throat and abdomen will help Kinkajou to mark that area. Mother's boyfriend is responsible for taking care of the young people. She gave birth to a baby tree (2 rare). This is where she left her baby when she was looking for food. After 1 or 2 weeks, the baby's eyes opened. It began to eat solid food in 8 weeks. By this time a young man can hang on its tail. About three months, I can confidently climb. Young men are with their mothers until about 18 months of age; females until about 2 years old

Kinkajous is sometimes reserved as an exotic pet. They are very interesting, usually very quiet, obedient, and low odor. But they are occasionally aggressive. Kinkajous does not like sudden movement during the day, noise, awakening. The excited kinkajo can cry and attack, usually catching the victim and sometimes chewing deeply. In 2011, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that pet quinquests in the United States may be carriers of the raccoon duni Baylisascaris procyonis (fecal route), and if it is brain, it is serious in humans It also causes morbidity or even death.
