Kinkatopia… sounds like a planned community for fans of the Kinks!

Kinkajous are not the first thing I think of when I hear “Kinkatopia”

“I thought it was for something else”

Isn’t the message “For God’s sake do NOT buy a kinkajou as a pet!!!” (She says early on that hardly anyone keeps them once they acquire one).

And yet vast majority of the video is about how cute kinkajous are as pets. Disturbing.

In case it isn’t clear, kinkajous are undomesticated wild animals and make nightmare pets. Do not get one.
