Kinkajous Swinging on Trees

Kinkajous live in tropical forests, but are actually closely related to the raccoon. They spend most of their time in trees, swinging from tree to tree with their tails that they use as another arm. Because they spend most of their time in trees, they have the ability to turn their feet backwards. That way they can run in both directions on tree trunks and limbs.
