Kinkajou Skull #00499

This is the skull of a kinkajou!

The kinkajou is an unusual procyonid native to Central and South America. With its long, prehensile tail, arboreal lifestyle, and frugivorous diet, it resembles a monkey or lemur more than a raccoon. This species is relatively uncommon in collections.
This is an incredible pathological adult example of the species that was humanely euthanized in captivity. In addition to having extensive dental disease, this poor individual appears to have had bone cancer as well. The bone loss around the teeth and zygomatic arch is all natural. It was beetle-cleaned, degreased, and whitened with hydrogen peroxide. Please review all pictures and description for condition.
This specimen is not from an ESA-listed species and is legal to sell and possess. US sales only, sorry!
