CHICAGO (CBS) - A strange animal's been roaming around Chicago, but experts finally think they know what it is. This little guy's been identified as a Kinkajou.

It's probably someone's pet that got loose.

They're native to Central and South America.  The animal was found curled up on a porch.  That’s typical of Kinkajous, which like to sleep during the day but are active at night.

If not claimed, it'll go to an animal sanctuary.
