WHAT DOES OLINGO MEAN IN ENGLISH?

olingo

Bassaricyon

The genus Bassaricyon consists of small Neotropical procyonids, popularly known as olingos /ɒˈlɪŋɡoʊz/. They are native to the rainforests of Central and South America from Nicaragua to Peru. They are arboreal and nocturnal, and live at elevations from sea level to 2,750 m. Olingos closely resemble the kinkajou in morphology and habits, though they lack prehensile tails and extrudable tongues, have more extended muzzles, and possess anal scent glands. Genetic studies have shown that the closest relatives of the olingos are actually the coatis; the divergence between the two groups is estimated to have occurred about 10.2 million years ago, while kinkajous split off from the other extant procyonids about 22.6 Ma ago. The similarities between kinkajous and olingos are thus an example of parallel evolution.

Definition of olingo in the English dictionary
