Native to Central and South America, Kinkajous are also known as Honey Bears; however, they are not related to bears. Kinkajous are most closely related to raccoons, despite having an appearance more like a primate. Kinkajous have a long, prehensile tail that is used to grasp branches and trees as they eat fruit or move from tree to tree.

Wednesday is our oldest animal. She is a quiet kinkajou who enjoys her sleep. She, however, has quite the feisty side and can be very dangerous if provoked. Wednesday was unfortunately declawed by her former owner, in an attempt to make her “safer”, but Wednesday packs a lot of attitude into her small body and, when she continued to be too much to handle, she was surrendered by her owner to Carolina Tiger Rescue. Wednesday enjoys her peaceful life at Carolina Tiger, where she is left alone unless it’s time for dinner.
