Kinkajou!
The kinkajou is a relative of the racoon, olingos, coatis and cacomistle
These animals spend nearly their whole lives up in the trees and they are very well adapted to that life
They have a fully prehensile tail that they use kind of like a fifth arm and their ankles are able to turn 180 degrees making clubbing up and down trees easy
If you have read this far why not follow us @animalfacthub for daily animal facts and pics!
