Kinkajou

The kinkajou are a smallish, aboreal creature that live primarily in the Ishä rainforest. They have round heads, large eyes, and almost circular ears. They can use their prehensile tail as an extra hand while manuevering through the trees. They can also rotate their ankles and feet 180°, making it easier to navigate through trees and travel down tree trunks head first.
While technically carnivorers, kinkajou primarily eat fruit, with some leaves and flowers thrown in, along with the occasional ant or beetle.
Some time during the Third Age, the Osnlil were evolved from kinkajou.

Additional Information

Social Structure

Kinkajou live in small family units of 3–10 members. However, they generally hunt for food in solitary units or in pairs.

Domestication

Elfs often keep kinkajou as pets. They are excellent hunters of small things. There are several families of kinkajou that live among the branches of Rishä Pamoli.

Geographic Origin and Distribution

Kinkajou are found primarily in the Ishä rainforest, but they can also be found in small groups in other rainforests.
