Coati (Nasua narica)

Coati are diurnal mammals native to South America, Central America, and south-western North America. They are related to raccoons. The word "coatimundi" is a commonly used misnomer applied to solitary adult males

Coatis seem unafraid of humans. A wild coati should never be approached, as like the raccoon, they can be unpredictable and their bite is sharp.

Either I had a good zoom or I didn't heed the advice above. Can you guess which?
