The young kinkajou, a nocturnal rainforest mammal, was found at the Selah Creek Rest Area on June 23. It's now being treated at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium.
State Trooper Nick Daley had not heard of a kinkajou before being called to help trap one seen running around the rest stop.
With the help of some state Department of Transportation workers and a cardboard box, they wrangled the kinkajou into a trooper's vehicle. Fish and Wildlife officers then took it to Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium. "He does not like people. He has an attitude. He has very sharp teeth. He would make a terrible pet," said Wolf.
