Floral Feast
Photograph by Mattias Klum
High in the canopy of a Panama rain forest, a kinkajou named Lotus brings her pup along for a meal of balsa flower nectar. At three to four months old, the pup is just learning to forage. Photographer Mattias Klum observed that kinkajous sometimes chew flower parts too, including petals, though fruits, especially wild figs, are their main food in this region.
