Nasua narica
White-nosed Coatis look a bit like a badger, are the size of an average house cat (around 4 - 6 kg), and have a long tail which is striped. Their snouts are white and black, however their fur can be brown with light red and gray, or entirely dark brown.
This example was sighted in an urbanized area in Mexico's Quintana Roo hunting for left over foods. The animal seemed overall unimpressed by humans and simply ignored them.
