Coatimundi (DesertUSA) The only other member of this species, the Brown-nosed Coati ( Nasua narica) occurs only in South America. The Coati is a raccoon-like carnivore but is more slender and possesses a longer snout. The female educates and feeds the young from the den site, usually a rocky niche in a wooded canyon. www.desertusa.com /may97/du_coati2.html

Fossil Rim - White Nosed Coati Coati have a long, slender, flexible nose that is used for detecting food items hidden in the leaf litter on the forest floor.

The name "coati" is of Tupian Indian orgin and refers to the manner in which the coati tucks its nose into its belly while sleeping. www.fossilrim.com /animals/coati.php

Great Ideas in Science Mammal Directory: White-Nosed Coati Coatis easily climb small trees and vines, and it can be very entertaining to watch a group of coatis feeding in treetops. Coatis are commonly captured and sold as pets; however, coatis do not make good pets. Coatis are also strong swimmers, and on several occasions individuals have been observed swimming in the Panama Canal. www.csam.montclair.edu /ceterms/mammals/whitenosedcoati.html

Quepolandia Quepos Manuel Antonio Costa Rica Coati meat is edible, but not very tasty and, unless large groups of them are damaging corn fields, which they often do with great relish, humans usually leave them alone. Coatis are often killed and eaten by both the jaguar (Pantera onca) and the puma, the two largest cats in Costa Rica. Coati numbers had skyrocketed, reaching a population density of 20 times the level found in the Amazon rain forest. www.quepolandia.com /site/article.asp?54

Alcoa: Environment: 2003 Earthwatch Diaries: Rainforest Caterpillars Creatures we saw included a spider monkey in the forest canopy; lots of tiny (dime-sized) red and blue poison dart frogs...they are plentiful; several fast moving lizards; and several coatis. The coati is the raccoon of the rainforest to the extent it looks like a raccoon. Use your imagination and stretch a raccoon nose in order to make it two to three times longer (a la Pinocchio). www.alcoa.com /global/en/environment/diary_cicela.asp

The Belize Zoo - Coatimundi The Coatimundi, also known as the White-nosed Coati, is diurnal, living both on the ground and in the trees.

BISON Species Account 050165 Coatis were located most frequently between 1600 and 2100m in elevation. Coatis continued to be classified as non-game animals from 1981-1986, with an unlimited take and year-round season. Coati in Arizona frequently use chaparral, pine-oak and riparian woodlands of mountains and they occasionally leave the woods for open desert or grassland or range into coniferous forest (Wallmo and Gallizoili 1954, Kaufmann 1984) *17*. fwie.fw.vt.edu /states/nmex_main/species/050165.htm

White-nosed Coati, eNature.com Discussion Active by day (very seldom at night), the White-nosed Coati holds its long tail high and nearly erect, except for the curled tip. Because coatis are extremely fond of fruit, including that of the manzanita, juniper, and prickly pear, a troop may ignore customary foods and visit a fruit-bearing tree daily until it is stripped. As is usual among social animals, the coati is very vocal (much more so than the Common Raccoon), issuing snorts, grunts, screams, whines, and chatters. www.enature.com /fieldguide/showSpeciesRECNUM.asp?recnum=MA0173

A Yogadventure near Carate, Costa Rica Reminiscent of Snow White (of Seven Dwarfs fame), she magically attracts her animal friends with calls nearly identical to theirs: macaws, white-nosed coati, agoutes, the infamous sloth and three varieties of monkey: howler, white-faced and spider. Nowadays their huge bright red bodies, blue and yellow wings, long red tails and white faces are seen only on the Osa Peninsula.

Species at Risk:The Cozumel Island Coati Although the white-nosed coati is able to live in populated areas and is considered common over most of their range, there are no known studies on the interaction between human and coati The Cozumel island coati is a species considered very similar to the white-nosed coati (N. narica), which has an extensive range but does not reach Cozumel Island. There have been no studies on the natural history of N. nelsoni but its social structure and habitat requirements are thought to be similar to the white-nosed coati. www.umich.edu /~esupdate/marapr2003/adams.htm   (488 words)
