Bushy-tailed Olingo

Thanks, Alice. Until this encounter I'd never heard of this animal. In researching the olingo I found a blog about the Hummingbird Gallery where this one was seen. A worker at the coffee shop had remarked that their olingo was the "most famous" one in Costa Rica, having been photographed everyday since he worked there. Where to see one: http://www.anywherecostarica.com/flora-fauna/mammal/olingo

It was a very cool experience. I've learned that the trick is to go there in the afternoon for the best chance of seeing the olingo.

I discovered a file of lost photos. The final shot shows the animal's lack of the prehensile tail distinguishing it from the kinkajou. (A quick image search reveals a host of pictures of olingos in this location.)
