EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a heartwarming moment at the London Zoo in September 1925. In the image, we see a kinkajou, also known as a Honey-Bear, suspended from a keeper's finger by its remarkable prehensile tail. The fluffy creature dangles gracefully in mid-air, showcasing its incredible agility and strength. The kinkajou is seen facing sideways with an adorable expression on its face, exuding cuteness that is hard to resist. This carnivorous mammal belongs to the Procyonidae family and can be found across regions ranging from eastern Mexico to central Brazil. The keeper delicately holds onto the kinkajou's tail as they both share this intimate connection. It is truly fascinating how these creatures possess such a unique adaptation that allows them to hang effortlessly from branches or even human fingers. This historical snapshot not only showcases the beauty of nature but also highlights the special bond between humans and animals. The photographer, Frederick William Bond, has masterfully captured this enchanting moment for all to admire. With its fluffy fur and endearing pose, this photograph serves as a reminder of our shared existence with other species on this planet. It invites us to appreciate their diversity while reminding us of our responsibility towards their conservation.
