The kinkajou that had been spotted in a tree in Broad Channel near the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge Center was caught on Wednesday and is under the care of the Animal Care & Control of NYC, according to a National Parks Service spokeswoman.
An email forwarded to the Queens Chronicle from a member of Northeastbirding.com states that the tropical critter had wandered away from the tree it called home for close to a week and was found just south of the visitors' center.
"It was asleep when found, so the capture was easy," the email reads.
An NPS spokeswoman later confirmed the animal's capture and added that it was handed over to the city's animal control unit.

It's so cute!
Glad it found a temp home in the wildlife center...a vastly "underutilized" undeveloped part of Queens.
Hope the rest of your life is good, little critter. It is really cute.
Maybe it can find a more permanent home in Donald Trump's hairdo.
CACC has it? It'll soon be an ex- kinkajou..Sorry, folks...
This adorable little critter feeds on birds eggs, it's a good thing they caught it. Since it's tropical and nocturnal, it never would have survived past september.
It's too bad that the douchebag or douchehag that dumped it there (me thinks, hipster or eurotrash types) will never get caught and probably had a demented jolly laugh about it.
Just wait. Mayor DiDumDum will build homeless shelters for his precious illegals and bums in the middle of Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. He is absurdly even more stupid and naive than usual to think that he can "restore green space" that he took. Where? In the middle of a garbage dump? In the middle of an ocean? JBWR is one of the genuine jewels for birders here on the east coast. It is frightening to think that a moron like DiDumDum might think to use precious and rare greenspaces like JBWR as housing for his true constituency---scum. Only its Federal status would possibly keep him from sullying its beauty forever.
