[edit] Paris Hilton?

That section about Paris Hilton does not belong on the wikipedia.

[edit] Paris Hilton

I removed the Paris Hilton-related parts of the article, as I felt they weren't right for a article such as this. If I was wrong to do that, revert it... --Monkey&Bell 22:09, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Leave it in. I love even her kinkajou can't stand her. And I can just hear the jokes: Paris eaten out by a kikajou. Trekphiler 00:53, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The opening paragraph

The opening paragraph of this article is obviously false and meant to be humor. It should be removed.

[edit] Piece of tail

I've heard the kinkajou is one of only 2 carnivores with a prehensile tail. Can anybody confirm? And what's the other? Trekphiler 00:56, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Wikiproject

I wanted to make a wikiproject about ferrets and weasels but it became to small a range so i have made a bigger wikiprojects including all animals in the Musteloidea super family which include both ferrets and weasels and much similar animals. Support would be appreceated.

This new wikiproject includes Kinkajou's

you can find it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Proposals#Weasels

i also made a little template for the project,

I hope you like it.

This wikiproject is for the superfamily of Musteloidea which currently and surprisingly does not have an article yet. This superfamily includes ferrets and weasels and all of our other furry little weasel like friends. Please put your name on it so this article could have it's very own wikiproject outside of wikiproject animals.

[edit] Liquor cabinets?

"Kinkajous enjoy bananas and have been known to raid domestic owners' liquor cabinets and wear bikinis."

Is this vandalism, or just totally awesome?

[edit] Kinkajou bites

Their bites are particularly dangerous as their saliva contains a tenacious, species-specific bacterium - Kingella potus, first identified by Dr. Paul Lawson of the University of Oklahoma.

I have removed this because I can find no evidence to support this. Kingella potus was discovered in the wound of a kinkajou bite. However no direct link has been made between the two. And even if it was, many kinkajou's would have to be tested to discover if they contain the bacterium. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=16000497 <-- source
