A small, tree-dwelling mammal has been found and is being cared for. This animal, a kinkajou, is native to certain regions and is sometimes kept as a pet. It is generally quiet and docile, but can be aggressive if agitated.

The kinkajou was safely captured by officers who responded to reports of an exotic animal seeking shelter from the heat. Further details about the rescue and the animal's current status are available from the North Richland Hills Police and Animal Services Center.
