Police officers responded to reports of an unusual animal seeking shelter from the heat. The animal was described as a "kangaroo or monkey" but was later identified as a kinkajou, a small, tree-dwelling mammal native to Central and South America. Officers safely captured the kinkajou and it is now being cared for. Kinkajous are generally quiet and docile, but can be aggressive if agitated. They can also carry diseases that can infect humans.
The kinkajou is being held at an animal services center. Further details about the rescue and the kinkajou's status are available.
The animal services center is providing care for the exotic pet while its owner is sought.
