On my way to Laguna Arenal/Volcan Arenal I found this family of Coaties? foraging the ground, could not see what it was they were eating but they were digging their snouts very deep.

lovely, Gilma!

Thank you so much for the ID, Stian Waaler, I got very confused when I search and they have some coaties that did not resemble the ones in my spotting at all. White-nosed coati it is exactly what it is. Thanks again.
