Potos flavus, an unusual animal of Latin America (S. Mexico to the Mato Grosso in Brazil) which lives in tropical forests and has a long prehensile tail which enables it to hang from the branches of trees. Its maximum weight is under 5 kg (10 lb). Its diet features fruits but also includes insects; its long tongue enables it to suck nectar from flowers as well as to catch the insects.
