The status of the various olingos is disputed: only the Bushy-tailed Olingo (Bassaricyon gabbii) is particularly well-known and the other species of olingos may prove to be only subspecies of it.
It can be located by sounds of falling leaves as it moves noisily through the trees; when caught in a light it often remains motionless for several minutes.

Olingo is a software project of the University of Amsterdam.
Olingo is a proposed ontology-based solution to contribute solving the heterogeneity problem within the VL-e, specifically targeting a number of problems in the foundation middleware layer (workflow) and, at the same time, related to the generic management of information in VL-e applications.
In direction of solving this technical variation, Olingo provides a generic approach to overcome the specific problems by generating data structures based on ontology definitions.
Unfortunately, because of his age and need for a quiet environment, Sugar Bear was not on exhibit to the public.
The kinkajou belongs to the raccoon family and is directly related to the red panda that lives in the Himalayas and China, the olingo, the civet or ring-tailed cat and cacomistle, which are New World residents.
The kinkajou and olingo are very similar in appearance, often being difficult to tell apart when seen in the wild.
There are several different species of Olingo but the genus is identified by its brown-grayish color and long tail (380-432 mm) which exceeds the length of its body.
Olingos are found from southern Nicaragua to the Amazon basin.
The Olingo can be a great nuisance, as it easily gets into any food left outside.

The olingo is found in tropical forests from sea level to 2,000 meters.
WilsonSzalay: Szalay remarks that the appearance of the cheek teeth is convergent to that of the olingo, a carnivore related to racoons and coatimundis.

The Red Panda was previously classified in this family, but some experts, including Don E. Wilson and DeeAnn M. Reeder, classify it as a member of the bear family (Ursidae) or in its own family the Ailuridae.
The status of the various olingos is disputed: they may all be better regarded as subspecies of Bassaricyon gabbii.
Because of their general build, the Procyonidae are often viewed as smaller cousins of the bear family.
Olingo are found in tropical forests from Nicaragua to Ecuador and Venezuela.
Some experts consider these four olingo as subspecies, and some feel they are separate species: Panama olingo (B. pauli); Costa Rica olingo (B. lasius); Guyana olingo (B. beddardi); and Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia olingo (B. alleni).
Common raccoons are found from southern Canada through to Panama in timbered and bushy areas near water.
Ailurinae includes only 1 genus which is the Lesser Panda and is the only member found in the Himalayas and eastern Asia.
The other 6 genera are found throughout temperate and tropical areas of the Western Hemisphere and includes Ringtails(not to be confused with Ringtailed Lemurs!), Raccoons, Kinkajous, Coatis, and Olingos.
Sub-Species: There are 5 species of Coatimundi — the others being N. Nelsoni, which is found on Cozumel Island off northeastern Yucatan and N. narica, N. nasua, N. olivacea and possibly N. wedeli.
