Cute animal. I wonder how dangerous it is. I'm always leery when someone uses the term 'carnivorous', because most mammals are not.

The animal is an omnivorous frugivore[3] that eats mainly fruits (such as figs), but also insects and nectar resulting in feces the size of small blueberries.[

Note to self. Do not pick blueberries in Cobombian forests.
