South American coati

The coatimundi is a raccoon cousin with a long, ringed tail and a curious brown nose. It lives in the warm forests and scrublands of South America, where it sniffs out snacks with its flexible snout. Unlike its white-nosed relatives, this coati keeps things low-key with earthy fur tones.

• Adults grow 33-44 inches long, with tails making up half their length.
• They tip the scales between 4.4 and 15.9 pounds when fully grown.
• Their fur color varies so much that tail rings might barely show.
