Happy Friday from Shamen, our very handsome 21-year-old kinkajou! 🥰

Did you know kinkajous are native to the tropical forests of Central and South America and are sometimes known as ‘honey bears’? They get the nickname from their love of sweet foods such as honey and nectar! 🍯

Shamen arrived at Five Sisters Zoo back in 2006 and is now one of our longest-standing residents. 💛
