Limbs slender, with long fingers. The pads are wide. Adult animals weigh up to 1.3 kg. Sexual dimorphism is not pronounced.
It dwells both in dry and in wet forests, meeting on all tiers of the forest. It rarely comes down to earth. The range extends from Colombia to Ecuador and Panama .
Spends the day in hollows of trees or in dense thickets, gets food at night. In the diet mainly fruit, besides eating leaves, insects, nectar, small mammals and birds.
