White-nosed Coati

White-nosed coatis are small mammals native to North, Central and South America, from Arizona to Argentina. They have strong claws and long, highly mobile snouts well adapted for foraging in crevices and holes for food. Their thick, semi-prehensile tails are used for balance and often held erect above the body.

Coatis eat fruit, invertebrates, small rodents and lizards. They forage for food on the ground and occasionally in trees.
