Kinkajou possession is allowed in Maine. However, the species is not on the unrestricted list so, permits are required.
1. Apply for a wildlife or fish importation permit from Maine's Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (IFW) Commissioner's Office before bringing any exotic species not on the Unrestricted Fish and Wildlife Species list into Maine. The department's phone number is (207) 287-2571. Mail can be directed to the Warden Service, Main Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, 284 State Street, 41 State House Station, Augusta, Maine, 04333-0041, or you can reach them through its website.
2. Apply next for a possession permit from Maine's IFW's Commissioner's office if the wildlife or fish species you are planning to own is not on the unrestricted list. Even if the animal was born in captivity, the IFW describes wildlife as being any species, except for fish, that "is wild by nature."
3. Pay all application and permit fees.
