Olinguito

Olinguitos are nocturnal, and they come down from the trees at night to drink from the hummingbird feeders and to eat pieces of banana that are put out for them. I saw one wreck a hummingbird feeder trying to get at the nectar. The male has a black-tipped tail, and the female’s tail has a white tip. This is a female. I saw each member of the pair. It was difficult to believe I was looking at an animal that most people were only first hearing about a week earlier.
