The kinkajou belongs to the raccoon family and is directly related to the red panda that lives in the Himalayas and China, the olingo, the civet or ring-tailed cat and cacomistle, which are New World residents. The kinkajou and olingo are very similar in appearance, often being difficult to tell apart when seen in the wild. It has a rounded head, small ears, sharp teeth, a long body, short legs, long tail and a soft, thick, uniform brown fur. Their body length is about 16-22 inches (42-57cm) and they weigh up to 6 pounds (2.72kg). It is sometimes referred to as a honeybear because of the color of its coat and in Belize it is called a "night walker".
