Kinkajou taken to the South Dade Avian & Exotic Medical Center

An elderly woman was startled in the middle of the night when she reportedly awoke to find a strange creature that was sleeping on her chest.

According to a report by WILX, it was 2 a.m. when the kinkajou was discovered by the 99-year-old woman. And the animal wasn’t wild, it was someone’s pet named Banana.

Banana was dropped off at an animal hospital, the South Dade Avian & Exotic Animal Medical Center in Miami, Florida.  According to a post on the medical center’s Facebook page, Banana had to be tranquilized for an exam, but turned out to be in “excellent health.”

Banana and her owner were reunited on Wednesday, January 27, 2016.

Kinkajous resemble primates, but according to National Geographic, are actually related to the raccoon. These animals live in the tropical forests of Central and South America and spend most of their time in trees.
