🐾Kinkajou
Der Wickelbär (Potos flavus), manchmal auch Honigbär genannt, ist eine in Zentralamerika und in großen Teilen Südamerikas lebende Art der Kleinbären (Procyonidae). Von allen anderen Kleinbären unterscheidet er sich durch einen langen, greiffähigen Schwanz, den er geschickt zum Klettern einzusetzen vermag. Er ernährt sich überwiegend von Früchten. Wickelbären sind nachtaktive Baumbewohner.
