AKA Coatimundi
Phonetic Pronunciation: koh-WAH-tee-MUN-dee
It's a cousin to the Raccoon. Both are part of the Procyonidae Family.
It sports a long, ringed tail that it can hold upright like a radio antenna for balance. It has a flexible, pig-like snout that's perfectly designed for rummaging through soil in search of larvae and other insects. Their ankles can turn 180 degrees allowing them squirrel like maneuverability within the canopy...
These little baws are basically the Swiss Army knives of the animal kingdom, equally at home foraging on the forest floor or performing acrobatics in the treetops..
Incredibly hardy animals that can even thrive in arid scrubland.
Besides their aforementioned love of insects, they are opportunistic omnivore's that will also eat:
Seeds and Fruit/Berries
Lizards and small Rodents
Scorpions and Spiders
Eggs
RANGE MAP
I'm curious to see if any of the folks here that reside in South Texas, New Mexico or Arizona have ever seen one of these in the wild.

I like threads about animals and stuff because they are educational and informative... plus Nature is awesome.

I THINK i briefly saw a live one cross a lease road while turkey hunting in south Texas. Happened so quickly I could be mistaken. I did see a dead one on a different trip to the same place.

I’ve seen them in Arizona and in Costa Rica. Adorable little critters.
