Eating Utensil
Photograph by Mattias Klum
A serpentine tongue emerges from a yawning kinkajou while a hind paw scratches, suggesting the animal may have just awakened for a night of feeding. The long tongue helps kinkajous retrieve nectar from deep within balsa flowers. First described in 1774 by the German naturalist Johann Schreber, who thought they were a type of lemur, kinkajous are now classified in the raccoon family.
