Introduction to Potos Flavus

The examples were related to the number of groups detected for the white-fronted capuchins (Cebus albifrons) in Ecuador, and for the number of well-differentiated groups throughout Latin America for the kinkajou (Potos flavus), and for the different species of coatis (Nasua and Nasuella).

The kinkajou ( Potos flavus ) is a South and Central American procyonid that can plantarflex and invert its hindfoot around multiple joints in order to fully reverse the hindfoot 180°.

Members of the canid family have the following postcanine formula P 4/4 and M 2/3, except Speothos venaticus (M 1/2); felids have P 3/2 and M 1/1; mephitids present P 2/3 and M 1/2; mustelids show P 2-4/2-3 and M 1/2; and finally, procyonids have P 4/4 and M 2/2, except Potos flavus (P 3/3).

The kinkajou (Potos flavus) and crab‐eating raccoon (Procyon cancrivorus) are carnivores belonging to the family Procyonidae, but both species are characterized by different types of locomotion.

We apply our method to empirical examples on lowland tapir (Tapirus terrestris), kinkajou (Potos flavus), white-nosed coati (Nasua narica), white-faced capuchin monkey (Cebus capucinus), and spider monkey (Ateles geoffroyi), and quantify differences between species, environments, and sexes.
