A South American rain forest mammal found in Santa Ana is now resting peacefully in San Diego.
The kinkajou, a relative of the raccoon, was found wandering near a Santa Ana elementary school in October, said Santa Ana Zoo Director Kent Yamaguchi.
The animal is now at a rescue shelter in San Diego after a stint with animal control and a stop at the zoo, he said.
Susan Carey, founder of Ramona’s Mostly Monkeys, received the raccoon relative last week. She said no one is likely to come forward to claim the lost kinkajou because a permit is needed to own one in California.
