The poto is from the tropical rainforests of Mexico, Central America, and South America. Its geographical range spans from east and south of the Sierra Madre in Mexico down through central American to Bolivia.

They can also be found east of the Andes and in the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil. They live in altitudes from sea level up to 8,202 feet. These animals inhabit closed-canopy tropical, lowland, montane, dry, gallery and secondary forests.

The potto or kinkajou has a round head, large eyes, a short, pointed snout, short limbs, and a long prehensile tail. Their eyes reflect green or bright yellow against light. The long, thick tongue is highly extrudable. The snout is dark brown to black.

They have short, sharp claws and short rounded ears. Their coat color varies throughout the range and at different times of the yar. Upper coat colors include shades of olive tawny, wood brown, and yellow tawny. The underparts and lower tail colors include buff, tawny, or brownish yellow. Some have a black strip running along the midline of the back.

These mostly frugivores choose fruit for about ninety percent of their daily food intake. They love wild figs and use their tongues to scoop out the soft pulp.

They also eat leaves, plant buds, flowers, and sweet nectar. When fruit is scarce, they add insects like ants, termites, and beetles to their diet. They will occasionally eat bird eggs, small frogs, and lizards.
