@RobNickel001 They do NOT get as big as a 5 year old child, the get to be about 4 to 8 lbs fully grown, about the size of a small house cat. and no they wont be as strong as a chimp. The only thing that you will have to watch out for is there claws, they are very sharp if you dont trim them weekly, they are very gentle, its their nature. they will only injure or kill a smaller animal if they are playing to rough with it.
SO cute, I'd never even heard of a kinkajou before running into this video. I did a google search and realized it's not meant for me (my dachshund probably wouldn't get along with one anyway) but it's great that yours is a good pal!
I was totally unaware of these until I actually saw one today. And while as a rule I disagree with keeping exotic animals as pets, these little guys seem to really take to being companion animals if hand raised from birth. And though it means I'll probably never be able to justify the cost of buying one, I'm glad they ARE expensive. That makes it less likely to be impulse buys from idiots who don't know what they're getting into. Love the video, by the way. Sickeningly cute!
i want a kinkajou for my birth day but my mom would not want me to get one , but do you have to have some pet liscense or something i definaetely want one
National Network to Fight Wild Animal Trafficking: more than 38 million wild animals are captured annually in Brazil, 90 percent of which die in the process of being caught or during transport.
National Council of the SPCA, South Africa: Exotic animals are often smuggled into the country in hand luggage or in tiny airtight containers. No consideration is given to the animals welfare. Many of these animals die in transit due to suffocation, lack of food and water and stress.
People, regardless of the morality or legality of them, DO YOUR HOMEWORK before acquiring ANY exotic pet. Make sure you have a vet lined up who can treat them, and make sure you can care for them.
£2000 in the UK, I think thats over $4000, but then they cost a fortune to feed properly and treat at the vets too. There's a million questions you need to ask before "how much".
yeh mayne. You have to check if they are legal in ur jurisdiction and make a commitment to the seller that you will keep it safe and spend enough time wit it. It will cost $3,000+ to buy one.
hello, i was wondering where you bought alfie. because ive been looking around for a kinkajou, and ive found many on the internet but im afraid that im going to get ripped off do you know where i can safely buy one?
please comment me back. that would be lovely of you ^_^
He is SO SO beautiful. Someday I want one... but that will have to be when I am making much better money and can afford an enclosure and other care good enough, besides just buying the critter... and probably moving to a different state. Utah may allow me to have my Sugar Gliders, tortoise, and such and to *someday* get my hedgehog or ferret... but I think they draw the line at Kinkajous.
Yes, just enchanting. I admit I am such a sucker for exotics, but I really want one... SOME day. But not for awhile.
Right now my other babies are enough... especially my 3 suggies. My sugar gliders are my life. I have 2 females, Lilo and Epiphany, and Heber, my neutered male and they really are like my kids.
I love herps, too (I have a Russian tortoise, a RES Turtle) and they are great, but I just ADORE my gliders.
be like protetctors to us,if someone want to do something w/us that put us in life risk they will aoear and use its claws and teeeth to defend us...........XD
We like these things a lot b/c their eyes are round and placed on their face like a baby's - a study was done that suggested that's why women like cats so much. The eye placement and round head shape are similar to a human baby. Its instinctual
Of course, this thing is totally cute and playful too.
They should be allowed as pets everywhere. More people would learn how to take care of them if given the chance, instead of being told no because of the prejudices against keeping anything other than domestic dogs and cats.
Animal rights/welfare people who are against keeping pets, especially any other than dogs and cats love to tell all kinds of lies, saying exotic pets are dangerous, always gotten illegally etc. etc. I haven't had a kinkajou, and won't be able to thanks to our draconion laws that make them illegal in this area. But there are places they are perfectly legal to own, and this baby is so cute.
In all fairness, kinkajous can be quite dangerous animals. They are very smart and pretty agile, with very sharp teeth. They can do a fair amount of damage if they want. I swither on whether I agree or disagree with them being kept as pets, but if I had the money I'd probably cave and buy one, they are beautiful. But it doesnt change the fact that a lot of people are not fit to keep them and dont realise they are not tame like a dog or cat.
why the hell are u guys giving this guy negative comment marks for telling the truth....he didn't say people shouldn't have one....he just said people should do research and be reponsible about buying them. Not doing this not only puts you in danger,but MORE importantly the kinkjou in danger...people shouldn't be able to buy an exotic "just" because they think its cute. My buddy has one and most of the time its a playful funloving animal,but be weiry when they are in one of their moodswings....
.....just remember it IS soooo cute, BUT they do have claws and teeth simular to a small badger. So don't come crying to us when your cute little baby mauls your ass for not doing a little research on how to PROPERLY keep such a unique animal as a pet.
They don't have to be imported and the imported kinkajous don't generally come from breeders. They come from importers. There are several breeder here in the US. Bottle raised captive born babies make the best pets. I used to have one.
does it scream and attack when there are sudden movemoents or loud sounds, cause I read that they do off the internet, still my favorite animal though
En el Ecuador, es una especie en peligro de extinción.
No compren estos animalitos, seguramente para cazarlo bebé mataron a su madre, y le quitas la oportunidad de relacionarse con otros de su especie y reproducirse.
They aren't a new species, they are hundereds of years old. You need an exotic animal permit to get one, as they have to be imported from a breeder in South America.
