South American coati South American coatis are omnivorous members of the raccoon family and have long mobile snouts, reddish fur and ringed tails. Male coatis were once thought to be a separate species from the females because of their solitary habits, and were called 'coatimundis'. The females live in highly social groups. (from BBC wildlife)

Yes, Alice. I was in a college trip to study Rio de Janeiro's architecture and park landscape. This coati is from one of the parks we visited!
Is there a story of how you got the picture?
Thanks Ian!
