The olingo, also known as the bushy-tailed olingo or simply olingo, is a small mammal that belongs to the family Procyonidae and is native to Central and South America. It is known for its unique appearance, with a slender body, large eyes, and a long, bushy tail that can be prehensile, allowing it to navigate tree canopies with ease. Olingos are primarily arboreal, spending most of their time in trees, and are known for their agile and acrobatic movements. They are primarily nocturnal, being active during the night, and are omnivorous, feeding on a diet that includes fruits, insects, small mammals, and nectar. Olingos play an important role in their ecosystems as seed dispersers, helping to spread seeds of the fruits they consume. They are typically solitary animals and are known for their shy and elusive nature.
