99-Year-Old Lady Wakes Up to Find a Kinkajou Chilling on Her Chest, Like, 'Hey, Girl'
LatestAn elderly woman in Miami awoke to find a kinkajou named Banana cuddling on her chest. “Oh it’s a cute kinkajou!” is what she didn’t yell out.
Instead, she phoned her son-in-law, Carlos Aguaras, to alert him that some weird animal was running loose in her home. This wild mammal known as the kinkajou—the raccoon’s distant cousin—normally inhabits rainforests in Central and South America, not homes in Miami.
Carlos Aguaras got the call from his 99-year-old mother-in-law around 2 a.m., “which is never good news,” he told NBC Miami. He referred to the kinkajou as “a cross between a monkey and a cat.” Sounds about right.
