Kinkajou - nightwalkers known as honey bears
Kinkajous (Potos flavus) are nocturnal animals native to the rainforests of Central and South America. They are part of the order of Carnivora and have razor sharp teeth, however, they are not carnivorous, eating primarily fruit and honey. Kinkajous resemble a hybrid between a bear in the face, an otter in the body, a monkey with its tail, and the curiosity of a raccoon. Kinkajous are related to the raccoon and can live as long as 23 years. Some people, like Paris Hilton, keep a kinkajou as a pet as they are very cute. However, there have been reports from owners about sudden vicious attacks after years of non-aggressiveness. Update: Paris hilton's kinkajou, 'Baby Luv', has been confiscated.

Strange, isn’t it, the mainstream media doesn’t care what kind of animal it is, if it looks like a monkey it is a monkey, even though it is a member of the raccooon family….
