coatimundi

Males can reach a total length of 73 to 136 cm (29 to 54 inches, half of which is the tail length) and weigh 4.5 to 11 kg (10 to 24 pounds). Females are slightly smaller. The snout is long and tough, with coarse hair that is gray to slightly reddish or brown, the abdomen is light in color, and the face has light lines.

It lives in forest areas from the southwestern United States to South America.

The coatimundi, also known as coatimundi or coatimondi, is active during the day, in groups of 5-6 or even 40. The tail is slender with a dark ring, and it is erected when moving. It is good at climbing trees and forages for fruits, seeds, eggs and various small animals on trees and on the ground.

The gestation period of the coati is about 77 days, and each coati gives birth to 2 to 6 cubs. The closely related coati (Nasuella olivacea, or mountain coati) is found in the Andes forest and is smaller, more slender, and has a shorter tail.
