Have you done pottos yet? Cincinnati Zoo had a baby born a few years ago and the footage/photos are adorable

Looks like they had a baby potto born in 2013, before pottos were classified into three different species (in 2015) and I couldn't find what specific species they have, so I'll do a poll on the whole genus.

Have you seen the potto (Genus: Perodicticus)?

I have now

Yes, in photos/videos

Yes, irl

I'm not sure

The first photo is of a West African potto, the second is of a East African potto.
