Coati and Mundi - Spot-nosed Coatimundi

After becoming mature, coati's become very aggressive and do not make good pets. They bite and become unpredictable. He is handled with ship systems only. He is extremely fast and smart and always on the attack.

Today at the park we have an aggressive day with visitors as we have a huge crowd today. The Coatimundi's are going to be brought to the forefront today so we can teach the visitors about them.

 

Adult coatis measure 33 to 69 cm (13 to 27 in) from head to the base of the tail, which can be as long as their bodies. Coatis are about 30 cm (12 in) tall at the shoulder, and weigh between 2 and 8 kg (4.4 and 18 lb), about the size of a large house cat. Males can become almost twice as large as females and have large, sharp teeth.  All coatis share a slender head with an elongated, flexible, slightly upward-turned nose, small ears, dark feet, and a long, non-prehensile tail used for balance and signaling.
