Kinkajous
by Vishva Patel
Habitat
Kinkajous live in tropical rain forests
and tropical evergreen forests.
Sometimes but very rarely in dry
forests. They live in Central and
South America. They can not survive
in cold weather, instead they need hot
weather.
Kinkajous are not good pets.
They are nocturnal so they
are awake at night and
sleeping during the day so
you would have to keep an
eye on your kinkajou all
night long. Also they have
ferocious bites.
This is the
range
kinkajous live
in, Central
America and
South
America.
Food
Kinkajous don't have the name
honey bears for no reason! They
raid honey from bees nests and
eat it. They also feast on fruit!
Kinkajous' main meal is usually
fruit and honey.
Kinkajous also eat small
mammals such as, frogs,
birds, and insects but
mainly fruit.
Adaptations
Kinkajous have lots of adaptations.
Kinkajous are nocturnal and that
helps them so they can sneak on
their sleeping prey and get food
easily. They can also turn their feet
backwards to climb on trees easier.

dog like
feet.
They also have a very useful
adaptation, they have tails with the
same muscles as their arms so it is
kind of like they have a third arm.
Kinkajous use this third arm to hang
from trees easily.

Human Impact
Although kinkajous aren't
endangered they are harmed.
Deforestation hurts them the
most. Humans do help
kinkajous but not that
much.
t Class and
Changes

they are also vertebrate.
Kinkajous may look like
monkeys but aren't at all
related to them, they are
actually related to raccoons.
Kinkajous predators include,
jaguars, ocelots, foxes, and
tayrus. Kinkajous are
omnivores.
Movement
of Energy
Kinkajous get their
energy from small
mammals, like frogs and
frogs get their energy
from insects and insects
get energy from plants,
plants get energy from
the sun. Kinkajous are
in the middle range of the
food chain.
