It is the only member of the genus Potos. When fully grown the Kinkajou weighs 3–10 pounds (1.4–4.6 kg.) with of a length 16–24 inches (40–60 cm) along with the tail length the animal is another 16–24 inches long (40–60 cm.) The kinkajou's slender five-inch tongue helps to obtain fruit and to lick nectar from flowers, so that it sometimes acts as a pollinator. (Nectar is also sometimes obtained by eating entire flowers.) Although captive specimens will avidly eat honey (hence the name "honey bear"), honey has not yet been observed in the diet of wild kinkajous. While the Kinkajou is not considered endangered, it is threatened by habitat loss and deforestation.
