The olingo is a mammal from the raccoon family. It lives near water in Central and South America and catches crabs and other animals with its front paws.
The crab-eating raccoon differs from the common raccoon with longer and more dexterous paws, as well as a love for aquatic prey. It is important for nature because it helps control the population of crustaceans and spreads plant seeds.
