#Coati

I can’t help but kiss this baby coati. At just eight weeks old, she’s already showing her mischievous side! She’s climbing, exploring, and doing her best to steal the show (and whatever else she can get her tiny paws on). Coatis look like nature crossed a raccoon with a monkey, added a long snout, tossed in a striped tail, and then said, “Let’s make this one extra curious.” Native to Central and South America, coatis are members of the raccoon family and are known for their intelligence, agility, and mischief. This’s one’s name is Loca (after Loci, the God of mischief). Don’t let that adorable face fool you! Coatis are one of nature’s most mischievous creatures. They’re also extremely social, especially the females and their young, who form tight-knit groups called “bands” that travel, forage, and get into trouble together. Loca is a South American coati (Nasua nasua), from Venezuela, which tends to be a little stockier, darker, and rockin’ a ringed tail with bold black bands. Here are a few fun facts about baby coatis:
• They’re born blind and totally dependent on their moms.
• Moms build nests high in the trees to keep them safe from predators.
• They’re natural climbers with flexible ankles that let them descend trees headfirst.
• They use their long snouts to sniff out food.
• Even as babies, they chirp, squeak, and trill to communicate. And, I don’t know who figured this out. But, when you reverse the video footage, they really do look like tiny, fuzzy brontosauruses. If you love animals, adorable chaos, and learning about some of the lesser-known creatures that share our world, you’re in the right place. You can meet Loca at Raptor Hallow Sanctuary in Alliance, OH, along with some other amazing creatures!

Coati ASMR 👂🎧 The coati’s most unique feature is its long nose and pronounced snout! The snout is FULL of muscles so they have a lot of movement which enables them to search through leaf litter and find their food 👃 Coati’s are omnivores, so love to find foods like fruit, grubs, insects and small animals. #asmr #coati #chessington

They are so cute!! So these are known as Coati. There are signs everywhere telling us not to feed them so I will respect that. But if I fall asleep and one comes up and naps on me or decides to follow me to the airport and come live with me…. Well that’s just not my fault. #cancún #coati #animals

Gator kisses 😍😂🐊 Big Mac giving me a nice kiss on the cheek then trying to take my head off😂. “Oh he’s no Casper”, Casper started the EXACT SAME WAY when I first started this move with him, until we eventually got where we are today. Big Mac will be the same. And every once in a while Casper will still try to bite too. They’re always wild animals, I can train them but I can’t tame them or get rid of wild instincts, but that’s what keeps it interesting.

🌎🐾 Happy World Coati Day! 🐾🌎 To celebrate, our four coatis enjoyed some tasty honey and mealworms treats. These clever, curious animals were all rescued from the illegal pet trade, and now they get to live a safe and enriched life here at Jimmy's Farm & Wildlife Park. 💛 Make sure you come see them for yourself on your next visit 🐾✨ #WorldCoatiDay #Coati #RescueAnimals #JimmysFarm #WildlifePark

Did somebody say omNOMNOMnivore? That’s right! White-nosed coatis are omnivores and eat a diverse diet, including fruits, insects, and yes — eggs! 🥚🦡 📹: Team Member, Natalie E. #Eggciting #ASMR #Coati
