	What is a Coati?
		Perhaps one of the reasons the coati has successfully transitioned to the US is the fact that they are primarily diurnal, doing most of their hunting and feeding during the day.
		A wild coati should never be approached, as like the raccoon, they can be unpredictable, their bite is sharp, and they are vulnerable to rabies.
		While both the ring-tailed and white nosed coati are faring well despite encroachments on their habitats, the island coati, living exclusively on Cozumel, an island off the coast of Mexico, is classified as endangered.
