Olingo
Bassaricyon beddardi 
Size: body=40 cm; tail=40 cm; weight=1.5 kg 
Description: Small and catlike, with a long, slightly bushy tail. Body grey-brown to yellowish, head usually grey; underparts paler. Tail not prehensile, marked with very faint bands. Ears short and rounded. Easily confused with Kinkajou, which is larger and has a tapering, prehensile tail and a broader muzzle. Eyeshine bright orange. 
Activity: Nocturnal and arboreal, seldom descends to the ground. Agile and fast-moving. 
Habits: This small relative of the raccoon is usually solitary, but several individuals may feed together in a fruiting tree. If caught in a spotlight it usually runs off, moving quickly through the branches with its tail held straight out or raised up. It rests in the day on branches or in holes in trees. It eats a variety of fruits, nectar, invertebrates, and small vertebrates. It is usually silent, but sometimes makes a two-note alarm call “whey-chuck, whey-chuck,” slower and lower in pitch than that of the Kinkajou. Other calls include sneezes and growls. 
Habitat: Usually found in undisturbed evergreen forest, occasionally in second growth or at forest edge. 
Signs: Tracks are five-toed with claw marks close to the toe pads, about 30 to 35 mm wide. Tracks are seldom seen due to arboreal habits. 
Status: Rare. IUCN rank of Lower Risk.
