"The oldest kinkajou (Potos flavus) ever in captivity was Sugar Bear, who lived to be 40 years and 6 months, when he died at Honolulu Zoo, Hawaii, USA in 2003. Sugar Bear's date of birth was 8 June 1962, however there is no precise date for his death, apart from early 2003. The kinkajou (Indian for 'Honey Bear') is a member of the raccoon family, and related to the red panda. It is indigenous to the tropical forests in southern Mexico, Belize and southern Brazil. The average age of a kinkajou in captivity is 23 years." (
