This is the largest and most sexually dimorphic olingo (Helgen et al. 2013). It is principally found in montane and foothill forests, and although it has been reported feeding on fruit and nectar in trees, very little is known of its diet (Helgen et al. 2013). It was recorded in Costa Rica feeding on fig Ficus trees and showing social behaviour (González-Maya and Belant 2010).
The Northern Olingo occurs in the central portion of Central America, from northern Nicaragua to Costa Rica and as far south as western Panama; unverified records of olingos occurring north of Nicaragua, in Honduras and Guatemala, perhaps represent B. gabbii (Reid 2009, Helgen et al. 2013).
Northern Olingo occurs down to sea level, but is most commonly encountered in forests above 1,000 m a.s.l., and extends at least as high as 1,700 m, and probably as high as the upper limit of forest on the highest peaks in Costa Rica (Helgen et al. 2013).
